A spell very much like this appears in the Munchkin Player's Handbook.

If it doesn't have any rules effect at all, I can't imagine a caster using it. Heck, even Prestidigitation (or however you spell it), is more useful. I mean, it's only a cantrip, so it can't do THAT much, but maybe it could be used to disrupt concentration, or SOMETHING, I dunno.

Still, it's a fun little spell, and an interesting way to taunt the DM, or another player in PvP, I guess. :-)

^ you crazy? it's awesome. I'd use it all the time. Oh, change the casting time to immediate. It would be awesome to cast it at someone who misses you or something. Maybe you could justify a -1 to attack rolls for 1 round if the fail a Will save 'cuz they're angry.

Hey, it's no biggie. The Munchkin's PH is very much a parody of D&D, not an official supplement.

So, would Otto's Irresistable Daughter be Conjuration or Illusion?

I would actually think it'd be Transmutation.

Level: Bard 0, Sorcerer/Wizard 0
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Touch
Target: Cigar, pipe, or similar touched
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None

Transmutation
Level: Bard 0, Sorcerer/Wizard 0
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

You make a touch attack against your target. If you succeed, it feels a crab-like pinching, and takes 1d3 points of damage. This is especially distracting if he was in the middle of casting a spell. The damage dealt is treated as being 3 higher for determing the DC of the Concentration check to avoid losing the spell.

Material Component:
The freshly steamed claw of a crab, consumed during the casting of the spell.

Bigby’s Floating Finger
Evocation [Force]
Level: Bard 1, Sorcerer/Wizard 1

This spell creates an immobile, floating, medium-size hand of force that immediately begins giving a rude gesture to all enemies. Any enemy that sees the hand must make a Will save or be forced to attack in preference to you or your allies. It does not have to attack the hand, but it may not attack you or your allies until the hand is destroyed or its duration runs out. It takes damage as a normal creature, but most magical effects that don’t cause damage do not affect it. The hand has an AC of 10 and 1 hp per caster level. The hand automatically fails all saves. Disintegrate or a successful dispel magic destroys it.

Bigby's Obscene Gesture of Disrespect
Level: Bard 2, Sorcerer/Wizard 3
Duration: 1 minute/level (D)

This spell, functions as Bigby's Floating Finger except that you may move the hand 10 ft. as a move action. In addition, the hand has an AC or 20 (+10 natural), has 5 hp per caster level, and makes saving throws as its caster.

Leomund's Instant Alehouse
Conjuration (Creation)
Level: Bard 1, Sorcerer/Wizard 2
Components: V, S, M

Probably responsible for all the other spells detailed here, this spell functions as Leomund's Secure Shelter, except as above and that the building created is neither protected by arcane lock nor alarm and is not staffed by unseen servants. It is, however, stocked with five kegs of ale. The ale reverts to lukewarm water if removed from the instant alehouse.

Material Component:
A mug full of ale. The ale created by the spell is of the some kind the mug is filled with.

Leomund's Pet Shelter
Conjuration (Creation)
Level: Sorcerer/Wizard 0

Area: Cone-shaped burst
Duration: Instantaneous, then 1 round/level
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates

25 gp worth of hallucenogenic substances.

Mordenkainen's Faithful Hamster
Conjuration (Creation)
Level: Sor/Wiz 1
Components: V, S, M
Effect: Phantom hamster
Duration: 1 minute/caster level or until discharged, then 1 round/caster level; see text

It may only attack creatures in its space. The hamster has a +1 attack bonus and deals 1d4 points of piercing damage.

A bottle of water, a handful of hamster pellets, and a spinning wheel.

Target: Paper touched
Duration: Permament
Saving Throw: None

You make a touch attack, bitch-slapping your target. If you succeed, it takes unarmed strike damage, is knocked back 5 ft. per caster level, and is knocked prone. If it succeeds, the distance it is knocked back is halved and it is not knocked prone.

Rary's Telepathic John
Divination
Level: Sorcerer/Wizard 1
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Short (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One latrine, toilet, or similar
Duration: Permanent
Saving Throw: Will negates (see text)
Spell Resistance: No

This poorly thought out spell grants a single latrine, commode, or similar to telepathically communicate with any creature that sits on it. The toilet does not receive any mental scores, leaving its communication abilities similar to those of a rock that the stone tell spell used to speak with--that is to say, not much. Sitting on a telepathic toilet is a somewhat disturbing event, and any creature that uses it must make a Will save or be shaken for 1d10 minutes after.

Rary's Telepathic Lawn
Divination
Level: Sorcerer/Wizard 2
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Short (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One lawn no larger than 25 square feet per level
Duration: Permanent
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

This ill-conceived spell permanently grants a single lawn the ability to telepathically communicate with any creature within 100 ft. of it. It does this non-stop. The lawn does not receive any mental scores, leaving its communication abilities similar to those of a rock that the stone tell spell used to speak with--that is to say, not much. Because the lawn's persistent telepathy is so annoying, all casters within the range of its telepathy are distracted and must make a DC 15 Concentration check to cast any spells.

Material Component:
Three pounds of fertilizer mixed with the ground-up tentacles of an Illithid.

Tasha’s Hideous Figure
Transmutation
Level: Bard 1, Sorcerer/Wizard 1

Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Short (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Duration: 1 minute/level
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates
Spell Resistance: Yes

This spell mars its target’s face and body, twisting them into a thing of wretched ugliness. The target takes a -10 penalty on all Charisma-based skill checks made to influence creatures of the opposite gender. This penalty increases to -20 at caster level 5th and -30 at caster level 9th.

Tasha's Hideous Figure counters and dispels Ottiluke's Irresistible Daughter.

Material Component:
10 gp worth of make-up dissolved in a vial of acid.

Tasha's Sarcastic Messenger
Enchantment (Mind-Affecting, Language Dependant)
Level: Sor/Wiz 2

Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One creature or object
Duration: Permanent until discharged
Saving Throw: No
Spell Resistance: Yes

Material Component:
The tongue of a being with Cha 13 or greater, dissolved in 10 gp worth of acid.

My D&D group often refers to Major Image as "The Hand of God" for such uses as this. Sure Silent Image can do the same thing, but and sound of a angel chorus during the spells effect makes it worth a 3rd level spell slot...sometimes.

Bigby's Impotent Hand
Evocation
Level: Sor/Wiz 1
Components: S
Casting Time: 1 Standard Action
Range: Close (25' + 5'/2 levels)
Effect: 6" hand that moves in a grabbing motion
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving throw: Fort. partial

The hand created by this spell grabs a male opponent 'below the belt' so to speak. If the target makes their Fortitude save, they are only stunned for 1 round. Of they fail, they may take only 1 action per round so long as the spell is in effect. This spell has no effect on creatures with no discernible anatomy or 'soft spot', one might say.
