Having a taste for the bizarre, I once created in my campaign a set of scrolls
with typos.  People using these scrolls were treated to the casting of spells
such as:

	Magic Miss	(arrow flies from your fingers, lands two feet short)
	Defect Magic	(causes a spell to misfire)
	Hold Porter	(causes you to accost a hotel attendant)
	Sheep		(baaaaaaa)
	Wizard Clock
	Waste		(You immediately throw something away)
	Phantasmal Farce	You can cast a mental image of anything funny...

I had a good time with these (some were mildly harmful, most were merely
a joke).  I also had an NPC ("Flubbit the Wizard"), tremendously high level,
but once blew a powerful incantation resulting in a permanent Confusion and
Misspell Magic upon himself...he now roams the planet, the darling of the Gods
of Chaotic Good.
