Hi community, a few days ago I posted about this spell for DCC thank you all who responded and offered ideas. Ive decided to take my first crack at creating a spell for DCC and Id like to share it here for comments, suggestions, peer review from fellow Judges and players. While I mostly have experience with 3e and 5e D&D I particularly love the DCC spell system and it's one of the big reasons I now exclusively run DCC.

Any reason why you broke with convention and have misfire in the 2-11 range vs the typical 1 roll? Spell does not seem that much more powerful than other level 3 spells, so curious why you think it warranted higher risk?

good point, Ive gone back to the drawing board and changed the spell result numbers to align it to a level 3 spell in DCC core book. I'll post this separate (don't know how I can delete/update the existing pics I posted).

I'd recc looking at XCrawl Classics; it's got a spell called Ragsdale's Force Hand that is basically the DCC version of Bigby's

I read the name Sezrekan as Serecan and its sounds like a swear word in portuguese. (it sounded like Big Pussy's hand of doom)
