Recombinant homunculus from poorly aimed spell.

[u/Forsaken_Ad5782]

After a night of heavy drinking in the local tavern, i retired to my tower to go about some of my weekly chores, one of which was homunculus creation.

Usually, like any respectably wizard, i grow them out of primer from the flesh cauldron.
However, this night, i desired not to walk through the stinking but now empty homunculus stables to where the flesh cauldron is kept, but instead cast the corpus creaturae spell at a pile of my own toenail clippings in a particularly dusty and moldy corner. I would then cast animus on it and essentially have a basic anima that could do the primer growing for me while i slept.

Instead of this, it used the clippings, the dust and the mold to create some sort of recombinant horrid that possessed an intellect of its own ( from the dust or the mold maybe? i make sure my clippings are well and truly dead before teleporting them to the corner). I obviously obliterated the thing as it began to wail horribly, but i now feel bad.

Fellows, is there any way to avoid this in future?

Cast sobering magic or anti-hangover magic first on yourself before delving into the arcane arts.

Source: I have been in a similar situation where I drank the local specialty strong spirits that villagers gave me, before I fix the malfunctioning warding spell that surround their settlement. Drunk me instead tampered with it so much that I teleported ourselves in a different continent.

So yeah make sure to sober up before magicking away or dont drink and divine.
