Talk:Bloom

There isn't any rules information for this in the comics. It might be an old 1st edition spell. I presume "bloom" is the name of the spell, rather than a command or verbal component, as the comics make a habit of shouting out spell names when cast. :) — BadCatMan (talk) 07:49, May 4, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm a fan of Order of the Stick, and he always has the characters call out the name of the spell they are casting. I never realized until I started reading all these comic articles of yours that he probably got this from the only comics. ~ Lhynard (talk) 20:32, May 4, 2015 (UTC)


 * I've read OOTS. I imagine it's pretty common in some tabletop gaming, grandly announcing the spell you're going to cast, which gets worked into the RP. And in a D&D comic, there's no other way of telling the reader what spell it's meant to be, as art will vary. Give it some 80s corny-ness, and away you go. "Magic missile!" I don't know if Rich Burlew read these comics, but as bizarre as they're going to get, I'd give it good odds. ;) — BadCatMan (talk) 01:10, May 5, 2015 (UTC)

The closest I can find is the cantrip sprout which caused accelerated growth in plants in a volume of 1 yd3. It could cause seeds to germinate, sprouts to grow about an inch, buds to open into flowers, and so on. However, I don't see anything that can create objects out of nothing.&mdash;Moviesign (talk) 00:56, May 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks. I imagine it's some kind of cantrip; prestidigitation can create simple, crude objects. It must really be a special spell of the Shadowdale elves. — BadCatMan (talk) 01:10, May 5, 2015 (UTC)
