What it is about
d100 Urban Fantasy: Spell Mishaps & Magical Misfires
Magic works. Until it doesn’t.
In a modern city, spells collide with WiFi signals, subway tunnels, neon lights, surveillance cameras, crowded streets, and unstable emotions. Even a simple charm can glitch in spectacular — or subtle — ways.
d100 Urban Fantasy: Spell Mishaps delivers 100 unexpected magical side effects designed for contemporary supernatural campaigns. These aren’t catastrophic fireballs or apocalyptic disasters. They’re the strange backlashes, urban distortions, and eerie ripples that happen when magic pushes against concrete, circuitry, and humanity.
Each entry is presented in a clean:

Roll when a spell fails.
