wild magic
Unpredictable supernatural force
Wild magic is a fantasy concept describing magical energy that is unpredictable, uncontrolled, or untamed by conventional spellcasting rules.
In tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons, wild magic produces random effects when cast—a fireball might become a shower of butterflies, or the caster might turn blue.
The term implies magic in its raw, chaotic state before being shaped by training or tradition: The sorcerer's wild magic surged, and suddenly everyone in the room was speaking in rhymes.
