Alter reality

Alter reality was an arcane illusion spell that could temporarily make changes in reality that suited the caster.

Effects
The caster envisioned the change they wanted to happen during the spell's casting. They did this by speaking it aloud and casting a phantasmal force version of the change. Typically, only minor changes could be affected without dire consequences. Alter reality was a double-edged sword, with caster's trying to change too much often seeing the spell backfire upon them.

Components
In addition to verbal and somatic components, this spell required as a material component part of the caster's life force as casting this spell aged the caster slightly.

History
The alter reality spell could be used to destroy the rod of mirrors.
