Top Ten Worst-Written Spells, Class Features, Racial Abilities, Feats, Items, etc

My vote is for Opalescent Glare, from Spell Compendium. It's a 4th level spell that was supposed to give you a one shot gaze attack... but as written, it permanently makes you gain a gaze attack that causes fear in enemies for 1d10 rounds. Probably not what was supposed to happen there.

Wow, you're right. Not only does that spell give you a gaze attack forever, it does so completely unambiguously. That is just a masterpiece of bad writing, I give it two votes.
