Random magic costs
Find prices, limits and tradeoffs for fictional spells, rituals, or entire magic systems. Results cover sacrifices, scaling rules, symptoms, breaking points, willing and unwilling payers, spell-specific prices, hidden consequences, loopholes, taboos, apprenticeships, tools, rumors, economies, relationships, extreme cases, and moral tradeoffs.
Copy a useful result or reroll for another angle. Then decide who pays, when collection occurs, whether consent matters, how the price scales, what warning signs appear, and which people or institutions profit from the rule.
