Spell Law – We’re looking for your best story involving Spell Mastery. Whether your spell mastery has saved you just in the nick of time or had terrible, terrible consequences, or even really interesting applications for the spells, we want to hear about it. Even if you don’t win, it’s always fun to reminisce over past glories (or failings as the case may be).

We tend to play in RM2 epic level games where our characters kill gods or become them, so these need to be noted ;)
My Archmage had a crit on him that snapped his torso around 180 degrees in a player on player attack, I had cast a forcefield and spell mastered it from a sphere to body hugging and used this as a virtual exoskeleton... I think it was something like a -50 roll. I then said to the player (expletives deleted); "That is going to take me at least ten minutes to heal!". I told the GM I was attacking with my staff at full OB (this was a bluff, he had a better OB/DB total). The PC ran away :)
As an evil Healer I once spell mastered my healing duration from permanent to 1 year per level, then recast the heals while the PC's were asleep every few years... lol... I got busted when the GM disjunted a PC and it collapsed with a decade of game time injuries.
Again with this same healer, I used my spells offensively, the GM ruled that I could change a U type spell to F with a -50 spell mastery (I think this number came from the +50 people get to resist harmless spells). I then took a wound of a PC onto myself then transferred it to the creature that delivered the wound. I pitched this as a neutral act... I'm not sure if anyone agreed with me :o
RoCo3 (page 64) and Alchemy companion have an alternate alchemy called Spirit Runes which is effectively alchemy for adventures because you can stop and start without damaging the item. The first level spell Tempers the item, building up the level that you can put enchantments on to it. The GM allowed me to change this spell from touch to 5' radius, allowing me to enchant castle bricks wholesale (with only the PP expenditure of the touch spell). Every brick in that wall had a confusion, sleep or terror spell in it; all effective low level spells that wouldn't accidently kill anyone.
Playing a tourist Kata Viir (spelling?) from Shadow World to Middle Earth (an archmage again) we were helping a fleet (they had a Macros) defend against Dark Space elder gods. I decided that the range on our mechs was too short so I hopped out (planar survival list was handy) and used a joining spell to combine the attributes of two spells. A following holy bolt (two spells) and a geomancy spell that blessed 1 mile per level (GM ruled cubic not square) area of land. I then Spell Masted this to a 1 inch diameter cylinder... after a bit of maths, carrying the one, this worked out to be longer range by far. Mind you, we were 50+ levels and 200 on all stats.

This is clever.
Modius:
As I make my way through any retool of the spell law I am reminded that RM has always and will continue to have the best magic system in table top gaming! I am looking forward to the coming weeks looking over the updates.
5th Knight of Xar:
It's been so many years since we actually managed to pull the entire group of RM players together that I've forgot most of the gemstones when it comes to Spell Mastery events. What I can remember from the top of my head, regarding spells and spellcasting was an incident that happened with one of the spellcasting players as he used(or tried to use) lofty bridge to escape some orcs or bandits I believe it was, he fumbled and instant appeared 30 meters above ground instead of moving forward to the spot he wanted to go to. I guess we all know the outcome of such a fall. :)
Ynglaur:
He landed on top of his assailants, delivering a Medium Bash at +30 OB, rolling high open-ended, and getting a 97 on the E Krush table?
