If a character fails their spellcasting check but still wants something to happen, they roll the Chaos die (usually Δ12) on this table. When the Chaos die drops below Δ4, spellcasters can no longer call on Chaos when they fail a check.

Chaos Δ	Magical aberration	Effect
1	Error	The spell's effect is inverted or dramatically changed
2	Mutation	The magic functions, but it transforms the character and causes long-term repercussions: deformities, scars, etc.
3	Forgotten	The spell works, but the character forgets how to cast it and won't remember again until after a good night's sleep
4	Drain	The character loses points equal to the cost of the spell in an ability determined at random. The points are regained at a rate of one per day
5	Fireworks	Noise! Lights! But no tangible effect, except the caster's clothes (or a colleague's) catch fire
6	Power jolt	No magical effect happens, but the character regains the hit points spent on the spell
7	Weakened spell	The area of effect, the number of targets, and the damage/healing are all halved
8	Lack of control	The magic has a negative secondary effect
9	Loss of power	The spell works, but the caster loses the cost in hp again. A character who falls to 0 hp loses consciousness but isn't at risk of dying
10	Delayed effect	The spell takes effect normally… but in rounds (or minutes outside of combat)
11	Mistarget	The spell affects a different target (DM's choice)
12	BAM!	The effects, number of targets, or size of the spell double
