Secret Jackalope 2022: Magic Weather

The prompt from PlausibleScale was "Give me a d10 fantastical / non-earth weather table to occur during a "magic season" time of year."




I had fun.

d20	Weather	Effect	Benefit	Complication
1	Tachyon Showers	Faintly luminescent rain that reverses time based on exposure.	Undoes damage/conditions in reverse order.	Local child-gang actually 40 year old bandits with heavy nets who have been doing this a while.
2	Anti-sun	Cloudy sky, ominous feeling of dread from behind. Anti-sun orbits you!	Obsidian mirror lets you see your anti-sun. Have a vision of the worst moment of your life, past or future.	Local hero has fled screaming after gazing into his mirror. Find out why, maybe give him a pep talk.
3	Reign of Fish	Alien fish from a better world rain down. All earthly life instinctively obeys them.	Fish know everything about this world, and a bit more. Might tell you.	Fish don’t breathe air or water. They’ve ordered you to find something but you have no ideas what they are talking about.
4	Holestorm	Negative space forms on surfaces, people. Holes that do not harm and eventually evaporate.	Open doors, dig holes, look inside things, hide stuff in your body.	Someone got caught in a heavy downpour and came back wrong.
5	Secret Wind	Transfers secrets between people it touches. Everyone tries to stay inside.	Stand downwind of anyone you wish to interrogate.	Local noble was exposed, is sending soldiers to see if anyone knows his secret, but won’t give any clues. Soldiers confused and grumpy.
6	Glyph Blizzard	Snowflakes form random glyphs. Mostly harmless, occasional chains cause magical effects.	Capture glyph-flakes can be assembled into single-cast spell bottles. Wizards might be able to learn them.	Mage cabal is harvesting glyphs, trying to choke everyone else out of the market/obtain ultimate power. They aren’t very clear.
7	Golem Hail	Tiny golem cores rain down, mostly break or turn to various non-precious gems. Big ones sometimes animate rocks, mud, houses.	If you’re lucky, a fresh core can be charged and made into your own golem.	Statue of the town founder was actually a hidden gold reserve. Now animate, sentient, and very much worried.
8	[REDACTED]	Time skips. Events happen, but no one remembers. Hours, days, rarely weeks.	Gain random XP and random ailments/wounds/lost items.	Why do you have a dragon’s egg, and what’s that roaring from the mountains?
9	Aurora Astralis	Coloured lights from the astral realm, some ghost creatures like an LSD fishing trip.	Some people say you can see the future or tell the true nature of others by observing the lights. Maybe true.	Something got into a recently-deceased villager and nobody is happy about this, it included.
10	Star sleet	Cold, twinkling, extremely unpleasant to the touch. Exposure grants various levels of temporary cosmic awareness, mostly causes ennui.	Maybe you’re the special one who won’t be crushed by how infinitely small they are in the scale of the grand cosmos and retain enlightenment. Like no one’s thought that before.	Local warlock has somehow stored the stuff in a bath, probably a really bad idea. Investigate before tentacles start coming out of places.
