Hey, let's make a list of silly random magical effects that might happen from a Rod of Wonder, Chaos Magic, Mr. Mxyzptlk, etc.

I'll start with a few

1. Nearest person is showered with 10 gallons of warm maple syrup
2. Nearest container is emptied of its contents and filled with strawberry ice cream
3. 1d1000 clothing-eating locusts appear
4. Nearest person's name is changed to "Mc[unflattering adjective]". They think that's always been their name, and that's how everyone else remembers it.

EDIT: Let's try not to make these too complicated! Like, keep it to a sentence or two!

5. Your left shoe vanishes, never to be seen again.

7. You can no longer see the color green.
8. It begins raining hedgehogs.
9. You turn into an owlbear. Everyone thinks a Wizard did it.

10. A hat falls from the sky, landing neatly on the nearest head.

11. A flightless black imp appears, disappearing 1d4 rounds later.

12. The sky appears to turn bright yellow for you.

13. You see actions or sounds as text over the action or source.

16. The object or person who initiated the random effect is transported to a random location on another continent.
17. For 24 hours, background music accompanies the caster, adjusting itself to any situation they encounter.
18. The person nearest to the caster starts ranting about how overdone zombies are, and how the zombie related effects that will no doubt appear later in this list are utter bull****. They won't stop until everyone says they agree and the ranter is right.
19. A group of wildly colored ponies arrive, equal in number to the amount of humans in the vicinity. Aside from their color they're perfectly normal ponies, what else were you expecting?
20. The landscape in a sphere with a radius of 1500 foot around the caster turns into food. Trees turn to broccoli or leek, soft ground turns into sturdy custard, rocks into chocolate and water into whatever anyone near but the caster prefers. The food does not go bad and regrows if eaten, and the area stays this way for as long as anyone has ever kept track of it unless eaten completely with too little time to regrow.
21. A very loud noise is produced by the object or the caster, it lasts for 3 rounds.
22. Everyone rolls initiative and combat starts, this effect does not produce any creatures or adversaries to fight.
23. For the next 48 hours, the person closest to the back of the caster has a hugely inflated head.
24. Until the next long rest the caster only gets to roll a d12 every time he should get a d20.
25. The ground cracks open and a gaping chasm appears.

27. Everything the caster does must be narrated by the GM in a British accent, and the GM must always call the caster "Stanley".
28. The caster's nose size and carrying capacity doubles, but his allies force him to carry a ridiculously large object that they can see that can be sold for at least 50 gold pieces. For example stone throne, iron gate or stone altar. Bonus points for the allies for calling the caster "Nodwick".
29. For the next 1d4+1 days, the caster must make a DC 25 Will save whenever he casts a ranged attack spell or magic missile, or he will close one eye, spin 360 degrees and the cast the spell. This gives a 50% miss chance to the spell. However, if it hits, the target gets a -1 on attacks against the caster for the rest of the combat due to embarrassment. If the caster uses magic missile and fails the Will save, the spell functions as normal (no 50% miss chance) but everyone must immediately call the caster a "hack3r" and demand that he be banned. Enemies get a +1 to attack against the caster for the rest of the combat.

32: Teacups in the vicinity prophecy doom for their drinkers.

34: All cleaning supplies in the vicinity levitate for 1 minute.

36. Obscenity Bane I : The target's middle fingers disappear for a number of hours equal to caster level. Fortitude negates. If there were any rings on affected fingers, they are lost and can be recovered only by Wish.

37. Obscenity Bane II : Each time the target swears, a little bird flies out of their mouth instead of inappropriate words. The effect lasts indefinitely. Will negates.

38. Squid Row : a row of nasty-looking tentacles grows around the target's mouth. The duration of the effect equals caster level in hours. There are several consequences. First, anyone willing to recognise what the affected creature saying must succeed on DC 12 Listen check. Second, if the affected creature has Bite attack, it applies -4 penalty to it. Third, the affected creature gets Frightful Presence.

39. Wreak Havoc : randomly swaps the content of all potion vials in posession of the target. Water flasks and similar vessels also count. The effect is unnoticed unless Spellcraft check with DC 30 was successfully made at the time of triggering. Each time the target tries to imbibe any liquid affected by Wreak Havoc, roll randomly to determine what exactly the creature have just swallowed. Potions and liquids can be re-Identified in usual manner. No saving throw allowed.

40. Moon Tiara Action : the caster (50% chance) or the target (50% chance) can now use the item on top of their head to make a Ranged Weapon Attack with +10 bonus to usual modifiers. The Range Increment is 500 feet. The thrown object is treated as magic and Good-aligned. On a successful attack the thrown object deals 2d8+5 physical and 1d8 Force damage. If the thrown object hits the target, it is expended and cannot be recovered by any means other than Wish. If the target isn't hit and the item meets some obstacle in its course, both the item and the obstacle suffer 2d8+5 damage. If the thrown object was aimed at a point above the horizon, it continues its momentum indefinitely and still can be recovered by appropriate means. Whenever it's making its extraterrestrial course or the wearer simply decided not to waste their +6 helmet, the special effect vanishes after three rounds.

41. Salesperson's Curse: The target is forced to smile continuously, no matter what their feelings or circumstances are. This effect lasts for 1 hour. The target gets -4 penalty to Intimidate and, if they have a Charisma penalty, reduce this penalty by 1. No bonuses are granted if target's Charisma modifier is equal or greater than zero. Will negates, you can add your rank in Profession:(Salesperson) or similar to the result.

42. Doom I : A crosshair appears in your field of view. This adds +4 to your ranged magical attacks. Attacks made with traditional weapons (subject to ballistic laws) are unaffected. The effect lasts for 1 min./caster lvl. Will negates (harmless).

43. Doom II : Target's hit points are set at 100. Each time the affected creature goes at another level (i.e. by stairs, ramp or another means), the hp amount is reset to 100. At the same time all slain creatures on the level the affected creature has just left are revived as per True Ressurection spell. Constructs regain their full HP and normal abilities scores. The effect lasts for 1 min./caster lvl. After the end of the effect, the amount of target's hp returns to its original value. The reviving effect on monsters is not reversed though.

44. Shounen Nightmare : Everyone's weapons within 100-feet area centered on the caster grow 2 Size category bigger. However, it's just an illusion, and every weapon characteristic including damage and reach retains its basic value. The only side effect is following: when an unaffected creature sees the combat where affected creatures take part, it must succeed a DC 12 Will Save or be stricken as per Tasha's Hideous Laughter Spell. The effect of Shounen Nightmare lasts for 24 hours. Will negates.

45. Your skin takes on a color that is unnatural for your race, such as lavender or carrot-orange. This effect is permanent, save for another activation of this effect, or a Wish or Miracle spell.
46. All your teeth fall out, only to regrow as fangs in 1d6 days. You cannot speak normally until the teeth are regrown, nor can you cast spells with verbal components. Once the teeth are regrown, you gain a bite attack dealing 1d4 damage plus your Str modifier. (Assuming medium size, change accordingly for smaller and larger races.) If you already had a natural bite attack, use those stats for it instead.
47. You die, and 1d4 hours later, you are Reincarnated as the spell, except your new body has some sort of disfiguring birthmark on the face, and you have no memories of your previous life except for the last 1d4 hours prior to your death. A DC 20 Knowledge (Arcana) check reveals the birthmark to be a magical seal repressing your memories, and casting a Limited Wish, Wish, or Miracle will remove it and allow you access to your previous memories as normal.

46. All items move one person to the left; all clothes and armor one person to the right. So the cleric is wearing the rogue's leather armor and carrying the wizard's staff; the wizard is wearing the cleric's armor and carrying the fighter's sword. The fighter is wearing the wizard's robes and carrying the bard's harp, etc.

That would be the most horrible stuff which could happen to a caster basically you loose one level in omnipotence of gaining only one level into a class using mind affecting stuff(that everybody knows that it does not works because everybody is immune to it).
178: You die and by exploding you deal 20d6 to all the people who knows you in a radius of seven kilometers.
179: Your opponents gains the following templates: creature swarm, apocalypse swarm and 17 levels in any casting class if they already had all that they gains the ability to split in two times more opponents than before each time they are hit(stacks multiplicatively so if it happens ten times your opponents splits in 1024 opponents each time they are hit).
180: The GM slaps you because he wants that you stop playing an ADND 2 chaos wizard.
181: Your quasit is eaten by a familiar who then becomes your quasit.(do you remember all those PRC which made a quasit eat your familiar no matter what he is even if he is omnipotent and immune to everything and infinitely huge)
182: Your character int and str are swapped for three rounds and he can stop being conscious if you dumped str like any real caster.

188. The target can only speak by rhyming. Failing to do so results in 1d4 damage.
189. The caster summons 3872 orcs in a radius burst. They cannot spawn in open air or solid objects. The orcs immediately begin attacking everyone.
190. Nothing happens. Not all magic mishaps can be special. [This doesn't really count, but we had two 113's so I thought this is a good filler]

191: the caster is shape-changed into itself but if this shape-change effect is dispelled or removed the caster takes another shape: an impossible to represent non euclidean stack of magical spells and twisted dimensions and matter under curious shapes.
192: the target of the spell is hit by his own attacks if he could not attack he falls onto itself from its own height.

193. Whenever anything within 100 feet would make a sound, it doesn't. Instead, a bubble is emitted which floats lazily around until popping, which then releases the sound at twice the volume it would have been otherwise.

194. The caster sees everything in photo negative (black is white, white is black, etc.) for 2d10 minutes.

195. Gravity reverses for 10 seconds, causing everybody and everything in the area to fall upward.

196. All slain enemies and allies respawn as soon as they're outside the caster's field of vision, like an old NES game.

197. For the next 2d4 hours, whenever the caster tries to speak, whisper, mumble, or otherwise vocalize anything, it comes out as though they sung it power metal style, complete with appropriate hand gestures and poses for emphasis.

198. A mundane musical instrument appears in the caster's hands, and they gain virtuoso-level skill in playing it for 1d6 hours before returning to normal.

199. A small thundercloud appears over the caster's head, shooting small harmless bolts of lightning and creating a torrential downpour that follows the character for 1d10 minutes.

200. Flip a coin. If heads, the target vomits live canaries for 1d4 rounds. If tails, the caster does.

201. For 1d8 minutes, every time the caster speaks, three ghostly entities pop out from behind him, repeat the last three words of any sentence or phrase, then disappear.

202. All of the previous 201 things in this topic happen at once.

Interesting combination.

203: A disembodied voice starts narrating the action for 1 hour per level of the spell cast. If the players do nothing, it will narrate the surroundings, potentially making them aware of enemies.

204: The caster gains a soap-bubble-textured replica that copies their movements for 1d6 rounds.

205: The target gains a soap-bubble-textured chameleon that floats over their head and tries to guilt them for 1d6 rounds.

206: The next time the caster or target is knocked out (whoever falls first), their name is changed to a different, thematically fitting, name. Nobody else will acknowledge the change, acting as if this was their name the entire time.

207: Water within 30ft becomes acidic, and hurts you if you enter it.

212: Instead of the spell you cast, a different spell of the same level with the same targeting criteria takes effect.
213: Your skin and clothing are soaked in oil, which catches on (perfectly mundane) fire.
214: You retroactively have not eaten for the last 1d4 days. Meals you may have eaten are simply gone; you are already suffering appropriate starvation effects (if any), and are probably VERY hungry.
215: The target's outfit changes completely, becoming a perfectly clean and brand-new suit of the same general quality (workman's, noble's, winter, armor, etc.), but a totally random style chosen from all the cultures of all the history of the world.
216: Darkness and light have reversed effects on visibility for you. You can see in the dark, but can't see in the light unless you have Darkvision (which would let you see black and white) or something similar to help you. A second result of this flips it back.

217: The caster gets to pick a spell from his own spells known list (for classes who prepare their spells this means no spells of a higher level than you could normally cast) that will take effect on the target. No spell slots are expended (XP and material cost still apply).
218: The caster gets to pick a spell from any spell list and any level that will take effect on the target. No spell slots are expended (XP and material cost still apply).
219: The caster gets to name any effect that will magically take hold of the target, the only limitation is that this effect can't replicate any actual existing spells.
220: The targets polar bear escapes. If the target had no polar bear, it now does.
221: The caster transforms for 1d% hours into their (the character's, not the player's) favorite legendary (or not quite so legendary from the perspective of the character perhaps) creature.
222: The player playing the caster suddenly remembers that clever thing he was going to suggest turns ago but which slipped his mind as soon as he opened his mouth.
223: The target explodes, extremely violently. It doesn't deal damage to anyone or anything else but it makes a righteous mess to all the senses of everyone within a 5d20 foot radius.
224: 99 balloons appear.
225: The spell creates a save point. The caster realizes that at any point in the future he could say "postaliscarnagis poof" and the world will reset to this moment, with only him retaining his memories about what happened afterwards.
226: The spell turns into fireball. When the spell hits, 12 more fireballs appear in that point, getting fired off in random directions along the earths surface.
227: The target now has a wife and three kids to think about, and should really contemplate giving up this dangerous lifestyle.
228: See effect 113, roll 1d2 to determine which effect 113 to see.

229: Caster pierces the veil of reality and realizes they are a character in a game and their place in this game. The caster gains a compulsion to share this with others, and they can then spend 10 minutes, if done one on one, an hour if a group within speaking distance, explaining this to others they speak the same language as, upon which they gain the same compulsion and capability.

231: Acquire a compulsion to throw your dwarves (if any) at your problems. If you ARE a dwarf, acquire a compulsion to be thrown at your party's problems. The compulsion lasts 1d6 days, but nobody says you have to stop if you think it's working out for you.

232: Nothing immediately happens unless you are outside. The next time you are outside, you will be magically catapulted in the direction of the nearest town or city with such force that you actually will land there unless intercepted. You take no damage from this, but the landing is rough.

233: Explode into gold. You will be found intact and with your normal, non-gold body in the next treasure hoard your friends investigate, having the hit point total you had before exploding.

294: The target is affected by mirror image as if the caster had cast it, in addition to any other effects of the spell. The images all accuse the others and the original of being fakes, and insist loudly that they are the real one.

295: The target is affected by mirror image as if the caster had cast it, in addition to any other effects of the spell. The images desperately insist that they are just illusions; they do not know which is the real one, but may lie to try to get others targeted.

300: Your entire vocabulary is replaced with macho one-liners and insults of your enemies' courage and masculinity. You also have the urge to run screaming into battle wearing only the minimum amount of clothing and/armour.

301: You take violent offense at being called mad, and will attack the nearest creature that has done so.

302: Your AC is increased by 5pts for every piece of armour you're not wearing. In addition, you gain an additional bonus according to your gender; males get advantage on intimidation checks, and females on persuasion checks.

303: Whenever you reduce an enemy to 0hp or less, all creatures on the battlefield must spend a bonus round staring at your awesome kill as the enemy's blood flies artistically through the air.

304: whenever you inflict a wound on an enemy, an amount of coin falls to the floor equal to the amount of HP lost. 0-5: CP, 6-10: SP, 11-15: GP, 16-20+: PP

318: Submit to a math quiz. There are no penalties for failing, but choosing not to take the quiz teleports you to Mechanus, where you will be berated over your choice for 3d6 rounds before being teleported back to wherever you were.

319: The nearest hostile creature to you enlarges by two sizes (do not recalculate its statistics, damage dice, HP, etc) and takes on a subtle but noticeable discoloration to a primary color. Roll 1d6. On a 1-3, it takes on a red shade, on a 4 or 5, it tinges green, or on a 6, it tinges blue. This has no effect on its abilities whatsoever, and it is treated as if it were two sizes smaller for all effects.

320: Suffer 319 as though you were its target. This effect lasts for 1d12 rounds.

321: Until the end of your next turn, every creature within 30 feet of you (including you) is invulnerable to harm. The skin of all affected creatures becomes metallic red, and they emit red light in a 5 foot radius until the effect ends.

322: Acquire half of a diagonally-cut sandwich. It has both ham and bologna as well as lettuce and tomato, and is topped with an olive. Eating it restores all of your Hit Points, or you can throw it at a friend to restore half of their maximum hit points. The sandwich loses its magical properties after healing a target.

Take the red potion, and the caster will stay in wonderland, and see just how deep this rabbit-hole goes.

331. For the duration of the encounter (or scene if not in combat), all weapons, armor, magical implements, and other held objects disappear, and are replaced with Nerf guns and swords. Until the end of the Nerf battle, spells, supernatural abilities, natural weapons, and unarmed strikes cannot be used. Once it's over, the Nerf materials all disappear and everyone regains all items and capabilities that they had previously.

332. For 1d4 hours, the caster's attacks and spells, and any attacks or spells received, are accompanied by sound effects and word balloons similar to the Adam West Batman television series.

333. The caster permanently gains a sidekick named Cato that can communicate only with the caster, and will attack him at inopportune times. Cato is a Monk (or possesses similar abilities in any non-D&D system) of two levels lower than the caster, and always gains or loses levels at the same rate as the caster. Cato obeys no commands given to him, is immune to mind-affecting magic, and will reappear in 1d4 days if slain, regardless of how he was killed or what happened to the body. The only way to get rid of Cato for good is by trapping his soul after death or by using a Wish or Miracle spell.

334. The encounter becomes a musical song-and-dance number. All movement speeds are reduced by half and become dance moves. All verbalization, including words spoken, verbal components of spells, and even telepathic communication must be sung in rhythm of the song, but is otherwise unaffected. There is no save for any of this, and even creatures immune to mind-affecting effects and mindless creatures are affected. Immobile creatures such as plants temporarily gain the ability to move in place, allowing them to participate in the dance number. Everything returns to normal when the encounter is over.

335. All humanoid or bipedal creatures within 40 feet of either the caster or the target are suddenly on unicycles.
