The subject's ability to cast spells is sabotaged, making every act of casting a potential disaster. Each time the subject casts a spell, he must make a caster level check (DC 15 + the level of the spell being cast) or suffer the effects of a spell mishap as follows:

d8 Roll	Mishap Effect
1 -2	Surge of uncontrolled magical energy deals 1d6 damage per spell level to the caster
3	Spell strikes the caster or ally, or a random unintended target
4	Spell takes effect at a random location within the spell's range
5	Spell has opposite its intended effect (DM's discretion as to how)
6	Spell fizzles, caster suffers minor cosmetic change for 2d10 rounds
7	Spell has innocuous and unintended effect
8	Spell effect is delayed by 1d12 hours
