Talk:Evard's black tentacles

Unrelated Tags and Spells with Wizard names
Should we tag spells with unrelated as well as everything else? I can't recall seeing one on a spell article. I've been holding off on creating spell articles if I cannot find any FR references to them.

Another question: because Evard is not an FR wizard, should we be naming this one simply "Black tentacles"? That's the Open Game Content name for the spell, right?

P.S. No offense, Terror; I've been wondering these questions for a while. Please don't think I do not like your article-writing!


 * No idea I figure like all spells are in the realms there just not spoken of but I don't know..
 * Oh Evard is from Grey hawk, that nice for them I so pose... Hmm Wikipedia says enemy of Mordenkainen so the spell could have made it here from there... but thats allot of "Ifs" and "butts"!
 * Oh don't worry, no offence taken ;)! On a similar note, please critique my articles I do want to improve ^^!  Terrorblades 's Far Realm logs dated  22:12, May 21, 2015 (UTC)

We already had an article for this spell, in 3rd edition, so I have merged the two.

Yes, I think we should use Unrelated even for spells. Ideally, a spell article would mention Realmslore (origin, users, sources, notable uses). I have been adding Unrelated to some spell articles. Of course, the question is now moot since the merged article has some Realmslore.

As to the name, I don't know, but I'd take the official D&D name over the SRD one. I wouldn't expect an article on Evard though. Some of these Greyhawk wizards do get namedropped in Realms sources though, so it's possible. — BadCatMan (talk) 10:17, June 1, 2015 (UTC)


 * I just discovered that according to Lords of Darkness Larloch knows all arcane spells from Player's Handbook 3rd edition, so there is one route to Canon there. Daranios (talk) 21:11, September 10, 2016 (UTC)
