Nahal's Reckless Dweomer is a level 1 Arcane spell for Wild Mages from the Invocation/Evocation school, which was added in the Enhanced Edition, that attempts to cast a known spell through wild magic.
Description[]
| “ | This spell is the Wild Mage's ultimate last-resort spell. When cast, the Mage releases a sudden flood of wild magical energy in the hope of seizing and shaping that energy into a desired spell effect. The attempt usually fails, but something almost always occurs in the process.
Because the release of energy is planned by the Mage, his/her level is added to the dice roll. If the result indicates success, the Mage has shaped the magical energy into the desired effect. More often than not, the effect is completely unexpected. The result might be beneficial to the Mage, or it might be completely disastrous: This is the risk the Mage takes in casting Nahal's Reckless Dweomer. |

Effects[]
Casting this spell allows a Wild Mage to choose from their list of known spells. The Wild Mage then rolls on the Wild Surge Table (see here for more details), adding their level to the roll. If the result indicates success, then the desired spell is cast as specified (potentially normally), otherwise whatever random effect listed happens!
