Effect of casting yomin at something:

say "[The second noun] doesn't seem to be thinking anything much."

[Gaspar]

[I don't know if I'll implement this one--it's a lot of work for a spell-scroll version of SAVE/RESTORE.]

[Meef]

Instead of casting meef at a person:

say "The meef spell is only designed to work on plants, not animals or people."

[Malyon]

Effect of casting malyon at a person:

say "Wow! It looks like [the second noun] is now alive! What a magician you are!"

Effect of casting malyon at something:

say "As you complete the spell, [the second noun] comes alive! It blinks, dances a little jig, and a moment later returns to normal."

Effect of casting malyon at the player:

say "Congratulations, you are now alive. An amazing bit of spellcasting work there."

[Fweep]

[See IZYUK]

[Swanzo]

[Nothing in general]

[Vardik]

Effect of casting vardik at something when the second noun is affected by vardik:

say "The [i]vardik[/i] spell already in effect seems to interpret your casting as an attack, and repels it."

Effect of casting vardik at something:

if the second noun is the player, say "A feeling of warmth and protection fills your mind.";

otherwise say "Nothing obvious happens, but you can sense that the spell worked.";

affect the second noun with vardik for ten turns.

Reset for vardik:

if the currently reset object is the player, say "The feeling of warmth from the [i]vardik[/i] spell slowly fades away."

[Aimfiz]

Effect of casting aimfiz at a person: [The actual targets of aimfiz are special backdrops, not people.]

say "You find yourself standing a few feet from [the second noun]. Amazing!"

Effect of casting aimfiz at the player:

say "You are suddenly standing right next to your former location. Wow!"

[Yonk]

Effect of casting yonk at:

say "You feel a surge of magical power building up inside your mind[first time]. It's hard to keep it contained; you will have to release it as you cast your next spell[only].";

now the player is empowered.

Empowered effect of casting yonk at: [This is necessary to prevent the first rule from happening twice: once the player is empowered it looks for this rule, and if it doesn't find it, it falls through to the normal Effect rulebook.]

say "You feel your power surge again, but it is too much for you to hold, and it releases spontaneously in a blast of green and blue lightning that leaves you momentarily blinded.";

award the "Overcharged" achievement.

[Golmac]

Effect of casting golmac at:

say "There is a burst of light and a cloud of smoke, but when it clears nothing seems very different."
