Wild Magic
There are numerous ways of determining when a wild magic storm occurs, but try to keep the frequency dependent on the location where players are traveling. On the ground a storm may occur once or twice a month. In the sky, once or twice a season. In the seas or the underground, they may happen once or twice every other month. Inside of a ruin of the old world, daily or weekly.
You can determine this by rolling a d100 at the beginning of each day. On the ground a roll of 12 or less will initiate a storm that day. In the sky a roll of 3 or less will initiate a storm. In a ruin a roll of 55 or less will initiate a storm.
Once it’s determined that a wild magic storm occurs, roll 1d8 to determine the storm’s power and the corresponding table. On a roll of 1-4 use the weak eruption table, on a roll of 5-7 use the strong eruption table, on a roll of 8 use the epic eruption table. Wild magic eruptions occur centered on a point of your choice, some effects only require the use of the central point, For more broad effects, roll 1d4, then multiply the result by 10 to determine the eruption’s radius in feet, the effects will happen within that radius.
