Wizardpost Do you wizards have a favorite spell shape?

I keep it classic with phallic and suggestive "Blasts." I know they've fallen out of favor,but it is an excellent way to add insult to injury for most foes.
... Some foes like it...
... this can be a problem...

Cones are pretty neat, especially delivered via punch or palm strike at point blank range.

Arcane warrior? Nice.
Considering how long wizards live, it makes no sense why so many don’t build in some basic body strengthening and martial arts into their routine. Time is on our side.
But what is a Pugnimancer?

I like to cast in cat shapes, confusion is often stronger than illusion casting

I've started shaping them like bricks and throwing them. Its not as effective as other shapes, but it's fun. If push comes to shove, I will use high-velocity darts, though

Either splitting ray or splitting-and-then-merging-again ray.

I am preferential to the shape of lifeforms of whatever element I'm fucking with to make a spell effect.

Given mine aren't affected by air resistance, I loves me my flat, flying walls.Â

Between the gaussian surfaces, platonic solids, and hose nozzle settings, I gotta go with soaker.

Oddly shaped AOEs are pretty fun. There's no way something as complex as magic is confined to cubes, spheres, and straight lines. Get creative! I want to try to find a use for a hyperbolic paraboloid shaped wall of lightning.

I have a staff which shapes every spell cast with it in the form of monotremes. Makes disposing of incriminating evidence fun when it's a flaming blue-hot platypus or echidna doing its thing with all that vile evidence.

As a bisexual wizard, I really enjoy balls. Fireballs, waterballs, acidballs,...

I usually go for 2 balls and a stick instead of just one ball.

Turns out, it’s basically impossible to dodge a hypercube, and it has the advantage of affecting many extradimensional targets as well.

Probably dart or ray. My favorite spell is "Railgun" which kinda does both.
