I want magic systems that are weirder than ranged attacks with glowy effects

@Draekos tired: fireball

Wired: inflicts a debuff that makes an enemy explode when struck

@fluxom_alt right?!

magic thats like... I pause time, do some actions and then when unpaused all of that plays backwards while the rest of the world flows forward around me.

@Draekos magic spell that makes projectiles freeze in midair

magic spell that causes monsters to perceive someone as if they were one of those monster

magic spell for doing laundry

@Draekos actually while I'm at it ttrpgs are all cowards because they don't stuff the spellbooks with a bunch of mild quality of life improvement spells like something for making a road to walk on or a spell for petting multiple dogs at once

Follow

@fluxom_alt @Draekos iwrc there's a bunch of these kinds of magic in World Tree

that one also includes a spell that detaches your head, which you can probably guess got my attention when first reading through it.
