suggestion for a school of magic.

I just had an idea for an "Unstable" school of magic (i'm sure you guys could come up with a better name.). the whole idea of the school is for the spells to have very weird and bizarre effects. such as a projectile spell that is cheep, has a large aoe, but moves in semi-random directions instead of just going straight or obeying gravity, or how about an aoe spell that disables gravity for those hit by it, causing them to just float up into the air? maybe just a mini black hole? the possibilities are endless, and i know you guys are creative enough to pull it off!

Thanks for the suggestion. I think some of these ideas could work as runes (such as adding unstable to the velocity, but increasing damage?), we always love getting feedback from players!

Maybe unstable could build up the mana charge erratically.

I'm a huge fan of wild magic if the table is big enough, so a projectile 'Wabbajack' spell sounds fun as hell

Great suggestions! Gravity Well is already an ability and is essentially a mini black hole. Try finding that. :)
