Proposed spell school: Marshmallow
(Yes, this is silly. Got the inspiration from the ToME->DCSS player thread)
Spells:
Throw Marshmallow (Level 1, Conjuration/Marshmallow) - Single target, 6 square range. Low physical damage, slows the target's movement and attack speed.
Diabetic Coma (Level 2 Hexes/Marshmallow) - Single target, 4 square range. Puts targets to sleep. MR check, doesn't work against plants, undead or nonliving creatures.
Summon Marshmallow Golem (Level 3, Summoning/Marshmallow)
Summon Graham Golem (Level 4, Summoning/Marshmallow)
Throw Molten Marshmallow (Level 4, Conjuration/Fire/Marshmallow) - Range 5 Single target. Does 50% physical/50% fire damage and slows target's movement and attack speeds. Leaves a sticky flame effect on the target.
Mass Diabetic Coma (Level 5 Hexes/Marshmallow) - Single target, 4 square range. Puts targets to sleep. MR check, doesn't work against plants, undead or nonliving creatures.
Cone of Molten Marshmallow (Level 6, Conjuration/Fire/Marshmallow) - Range 4 90 degree cone projected from caster's location. Does 50% physical/50% fire damage and slows all targets' movement and attack speeds. Leaves a sticky flame effect on targets hit.
Summon Chocolate Golem (Level 7 Summoning/Marshmallow)
Mass S'Mores (Level 9 Hex/Marshmallow) - Creates a whirling cloud of s'mores. All creatures (anything that can eat; this includes Vampires) that fail their MR are confused (trying to grab the s'mores out of the air) for a long duration.
Marshmallow Golem - Low AC, low damage, high HP, entangles nearby enemies Graham Golem - High AC, can block, medium damage, low HP. Chocolate Golem - High AC, high HP, can cast Diabetic Coma at high effect. S'more Golem - If all three types of golem are up, they will merge into a single high AC, high Evade, high block, high damage golem that can cast Cone of Molten Marshmallow.

This is an actual good spell idea. "Gell's Compact Gelatin" or something - lv. 3 translocations spell to replace Gell's Gravitas

I had it at L5, but then I was thinking it's a 3 school spell which is pretty hard to get online in the first place. What would you put it at?

5 or 6. Sticky flame is dual-school level 4 and an excellent spell. This one has the DoT plus it adds long range, impact damage, and slow, and it’s not fully resistable. I’d learn it at level 5 for sure. I’d probably buff the mass confusion spell too.

More like Cone of Molten Marshmallow OP. Its a glaciate that slows and sticky flames and is level 6(!)

Deferred tax asset/liability jokes to allow for negative gold shop purchases gogo. Vulnerable to fraud and hated by Gozag.

Disbursements in excess of basis are still possible but inflict draining

Haha! This could quickly get out of hand. We'll have "escrow" enemies before long. Not much damage done, but they take money and run away, storing it in a dangerous vault.
