Unless otherwise noted, all spells created by a wild surge occur at the designated target point
and function normally (appropriate saving throws are allowed). The caster's true level is used
when calculating range, duration, area of effect, etc. of these spells.
Tables like the one above cannot take into account the situation at the instant of casting. It is not
feasible to create tailored effects for every spell used in every possible way. Therefore, it is quite
likely that some wild magic results will make no sense, be impossible, or have no visible effect.
In these cases, the wild surge has no effect. For example, if a mage were casting a wizard lock
on a door and triggered a wild surge with the result "Target changes sex," no effect would be
visible, since doors do not have a sex (at least as far as we know). Likewise, a rock might be
hastened or a snake might have its feet enlarged. In these cases, nothing happens--at least
nothing that affects play. When determining the result of wild magic, the DM must use his best
judgment.
