I couldn't come up with a non-broken way to homebrew one, so I'll have to do the next best thing and ask y'all what you'd misspell if you were playing a dysleximancer.

And yes, I already thought of "rouge".

I prefer doing this as a metamagic feat - Misspell Spell. +1 spell level adjustment per letter added, removed, swapped, or changed.

Favourites:

Furball
Acid Bog
Explosive Prunes
Bestow Purse
Control Pants
Control Minds
Dancing Knights
Holy Drow
Mice Storm
Invincibility
Magic Bar
Make Hole
Silent Mage
Produce Fame
Project Mage
Shield Otter
Wall of Mice

And, of course, Unlimited Wish.

Altar Self: Lets you cast Consecrate or Desecrate on yourself at its enhanced effect.
Animate Dad: Self-explanatory
Charm Mobster, Dominate Mobster: Very useful for those gritty urban campaigns
Create Walter: I have no idea who Walter is, or what his stats are; I just like the sound of this one.
Drawmij's Instant Simmons: Conjures the bass player from KISS
Frog Cloud: Like Insect Swarm, but with amphibians.
Horrid Quilting: Self-explanatory
Mordenkainen's Lubrication: Countless uses
Protection From Weevil: Very limited version of Repel Vermin
Neutralise Poisson: Sovereign protection against fish
Ray of Enweeblement: The target creature wobbles, but does not fall down.
Shatner: Makes... the target creature... talk... like this.
Sheep: Puts 4HD of creatures to sleep, but only if they can count.
Summon Shawarma: For a quick bite to eat.
Tasha's Uncontrollable Hideous Daughter: Self-explanatory

I've actually incorporated this idea in my long-running campaign, but more as "discount items" at Bunko's Bargain Basement (Bunko being a gnome who has a low-cost magic item shop in just about every town).

Disguises Elf. The target's ears grow pointy.
Gloves of Argyle Striking. Whatever you hit temporarily changes colours to an argyle pattern.

Red Fel
2014-10-31, 07:25 AM
Zone of Cold: Actually surprisingly effective. Requires material focus (warm, comfy jacket).
Cone of Scold: Conjures chastising language from your mum in a 60-foot cone.
Scone of Cold: Conjures a delicious pastry that's been sitting in the freezer just a bit too long.

And my favorite...

Control Whether: Gain absolute control of causality over a two-mile radius for 4d12 hours.

Well, there was a famous old error in correcting some AD&D book or other (a list of spells or magic items, I think?) where someone had to replace all instances of "mage" with "wizard" and did so rather carelessly via some kind of autocorrect. WHich resulted in things like the "Silent Iwizard" and "Programmed Iwizard".

WHich I will for this, consider as "I, wizard". So, Silent I, Wizard, turns you into a wizard with ranks in move silently and still spell. Major I, Wizard, turns you into a really strong wizard. Etc.

Then there was "damage" which became "Dawizard". Which summons, well, Da Wizard to your location. THe one and only Wizard. Acid da Wizard, who casts acid spells. Da wizard also scores points, somehow.

Furball

And its lower level, more pleasantly scented cousin, firball.


Acid dog: As SMI, except only a riding dog and instead of celestial it's acidborn.
Analyze women: Explains to nerds why they don't get dates. Really just a magic mouth spell that says "Shave the damn neckbeard already".
Apathy: Yeah, I'm just not up to writing something funny here.
Animate pants: Because it's funny to watch the barbarian go haring off chasing a pair of trousers in nothing but his skivvies.
Arcane glock: I know what you're thinking. "Did he cast six orbs of fire or only five?" Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. But being this is an invisible twinned maximized enlarged searing spell orb of fire cast with arcane spellsurge, the most powerful fireball in the world and would blow you head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?*
Less weapon: See OOtS #1.
Can lightning: Focus: a kite and a key.
Colon spray
Continual blame: Mostly useful for rogues to UMD. Cast on the party barbarian and no one will suspect you of robbing your party blind.
Dancing wights: For when you want to make a music video and start the apocalypse at the same time.
Discern pies: After extensive arcane and eldritch dweomers and magecraftings, I have determined **sticks finger in pie and licks it** this is a cherry pie.
Endure elephants
Eyemite: Target is nauseated and shaken. No save. (http://uglyoverload.blogspot.com/2010/06/youre-little-eyelash-buddies.html)
Finger of meth
Floating ****
Goat sound
Arm
Ate
Eel
Hold sword For when you forgot to check whether the mercenaries you hired know which end to grab it by.
Horrid quilting
Mice story: Summons the ghost of Brian Jacques to tuck you in.
Incest plague: :smalleek:
Hump: No, not that, you pervert. It turns you into a camel.
Mage's Lubrication: It's for the paladin's creaky armor. Obviously.
Magic car: Just watch out for trees with fists.
Male
Miss direction: Just ask at the next stable, dammit.
Modify mammary: Usually cast in pairs, of course.
Poisson
Wench
Mead Magic
Scream
Sculpt soul
Shadow conjugation: Opaca fundo, opaca fundis, opaca fundit, opaca fundimus, opaca funditis, opaca fununt
Song of Discworld
Spell "staff": Unless the target succeeds on a DC 5 Intelligence check they are compelled to go sit in the corner wearing a cone on their head.
Sconeskin: The secret of this spell was lost when its creator was devoured by the rare-but-deadly yuppie giant.
Sympathetic vibrator: This spell was viciously suppressed by the mages' guild as they were terrified that men would become obsolete.
Tiny hutt: It's all relative, I suppose.
(Prismatic) whale (of force/fire/ice/iron/stone/sand/etc.)



And, since I didn't say just spells:

Goremaster: Transform the mild-mannered librarian into raging murder-beast.
Bread Wizard
Soul Beater
Warrior of Dorkness
Hunter of the Mead: Dwarf only, obviously.
Warp-priest
Perfect Night: You are the living incarnation of romantic evenings.
Plainer Champion: See, the last knight we had stationed here was just more... stylish, I guess.
Deepwood Snipe: The creature suddenly disappears, its existence remembered only as vague urban legends and pranks.
Tamer of Breasts: He's a wizard when it comes to making bustiers.
Ooze-mater: There's two interpretations of this one. Both require ample brain bleach.
Illithid Servant
Master of Files
Champion of Llanfair*pwllgwyn*gyllgo*gery*chwyrn*drobwll*llant y*silio*gogo*goch
Initiate of Piscis Sophia: Converts the holier-than-thou monk into a thrall to Dagon.
Urbane Servant
Mild, Plain Outrider
Gay Guard
Drunken Mater: This is actually the reason dwarves drink so much. With their Charisma penalties they need really thick beer-goggles.
Dragon Layer: Even oozes can enter this PrC.
Illithid Layer: :smalleek:
Hellraver: Because, whatever else you say about them, nalfeshnees are boss DJs.
Astral Prancer: Prerequisite: must be a pony.
Master of None: A prestige class especially for those who don't like weeaboo fighting magic.
Monk of the Wrong Death: A secretive order of assassins. Very bad assassins, but assassins nonetheless.
(Have You) Seen Mother's Whip?: Your mom and I love each other very much. We just express our love in a different way.



And, the worst for last: FATAL fame. Instantly makes FATAL the trendiest, most popular new game. In fact, your local gaming store has thrown away their entire inventory to make room for the FATAL books. And they throw rocks at you if you ask about finding a D&D, Fate, or GURPS game.

*Yes, I know it wasn't a glock. Granted, I only knew that because I looked up the quote, but I still know it.

Fair -- All living creatures in a 30' cone must have a good time with rides, greasy food, overpriced games of skill and animal shows for 2d4 hours.

Magic'll Miss -- Target can't be hit by the next spell that targets them.

Magical Miss -- Target becomes a young girl until successfully dispelled.

Vomitfall -- Large-area spell that inflicts acid damage and nausea.

Ice Fine -- Collects gp from creatures with the (Cold) subtype.



And from High Priest Spooner's Spook of Bells, we have:

Dame Flagger -- Waves down the nearest minor female noble.

Spire Fighters -- Summons 2d4 acrobatically inclined humanoid warriors to aid you in a rooftop battle.

Sue Treeing -- Turns overpowered, too-perfect DMPC self-inserts into trees.

Lackblight -- Removes disease-spreading abilities from target creatures.

Wight of the Bare Wolf -- Summons an undead, energy-draining, shaven canine.

Flakbuyer -- Lets you get money for giving somebody a hard time, like the professionals in that Monty Python sketch where they guy stumbles into Abuse and Being Hit On The Head Lessons before finally finding the argument seller.

And the classic Swarm of Embarassed Animals, which the Reverend Doctor Spooner researched himself because he wanted to deal his enemies a blushing crow.

Creates a ruthless, high-level alchemist? Scary, but it works for me.

Bigby's Interposing/Forceful/Grasping/Crushing Ham: Like the more common version of the spells, but with a pig's thigh instead of a hand.
Divine Flavour: Makes the target taste delicious.
Hypnotic Patton: Summons the American WWII General. You can't look away.
Rainbow Patton: As above, but he's leading a Pride parade. No save.
Remove Purse: Grants a bonus to Sleight-of-hand checks to pick pockets.
Simulacrumb: Coats meat in illusory breading.
Otto's Irresistible Dunce: Grants the target a large CHA bonus, but a corresponding INT penalty.

Otto's Irresistible Pants
Conjuration (Creation)
Sorcerer/Wizard 5, Bard 2, Cleric 5, Paladin of Freedom 3
Casting time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25ft + 5ft/level)
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: Will negates (Harmless)
Components: V, S, M (a scrap of material from any item once worn by a bard)
Alternative material components: One piece of gold-inlaid clothing (25gp) (Extend); one pair of pure gold-threaded parachute pants (900gp) (Persist)

Grants the target a pair of the untouchable bard MC Hammer's parachute pants, giving a +4 sacred bonus on caster level checks to overcome spell resistance and a +2 bonus to their spell saving throw DCs.

"wanted to deal his enemies a blushing crow."

Any spell with a semantic component should be safe for our Dysleximancer, so long as he uses Still Spell.

Gust of Rind - sudden hail of citris fruit husk falls on target.

Hypnotic Slattern - I'm not even going there.
