Intentionally create a wild surge, with a slight chance of casting the intended spell.

This spell is the wild mage's ultimate last-resort spell. When cast, the mage attempts a rapid weaving of the pattern which releases a sudden flood of wild magical energy in the hope of seizing and shaping that energy into a desired spell effect. Creating the desired spell effect is highly unlikely, but something almost always occurs in the process.

Before casting the spell, the sorcerer announces the spell effect they are trying to create. The mage must be able to cast the spell, but not have the spell slots for the spell. After announcing the spell, along with the target and any other conditions required by the spell, the wild mage casts Nahal's reckless dweomer. A burst of magical energy is released, which the wild mage tries to manipulate into the desired form. The actual effect of the spell is rolled randomly on Wild Surge Results.

If the result indicates success, the mage has shaped the magical energy into the desired effect. If not, then the wild surge is released - The result may be beneficial to the mage (cure wounds on themselves) or it may be completely disastrous (the mage explodes this is the risk the mage takes in casting Nahal's reckless dweomer.

The higher spell slot level the spell being attempted, the more likely the resulting failure. Modify the results by reducing the resulting roll by 5 x the spell slot level used.
