Other Collateral Effects

Magic is astonishing and almost always has effects or uses that are not immediately apparent. Feel free to improvise when a player in your campaign tries something that seems especially clever—or stupid. What happens when a purple worm is polymorphed into a puppy dog just after swallowing a still-living character? Or how do the various rays of the prismatic spray affect the area around them if they miss their target? What kind of wreckage does an acid storm spell leave behind when cast in a forest clearing? Be creative and take your best guess; the AD&D game is made of exceptions and special cases.
