How do you pronounce this? Joe and Kim are compelled to go over the spell Geas (and Quest as it happens) as it has appeared across all of D&D editions from ODND up to 5th (and not 4th at all). What a fun hallway we go down. Some terms include Jesh, Geese, Goss, Gas, Josh, and Hootie. Enjoy!

We have been exploring the realities of D&D's magic for quite a while, but a big gap in every episode has been spells in fourth edition, the Windows Vista of D&D editions. We have discovered why in this episode.

Kim has historically had a way to commit a terrible crime that, in her mind, is a perfect and untraceable way of getting away with it. Coincidentally, there was a D&D spell that actually fits into the thing that Kim wants. A frozen, ice knife, but not really. This spell has a baffling history. We hope you enjoy hearing about it!

There's a bunch of spells throughout the history of D&D that involve hands. This episode is going to cover anywhere between 1 and 20 of them. It's time to get our hands dirty with the Bigby's hand family of spells. Will Joe-Joe and Kim be able to keep track of all the different versions? No. No they won't.

After getting through all the big spells, Joe suggests taking a look at one of the most silly spells you can possibly use, Grease, which Kim correctly guesses makes things very, very greasy. It's a bad time. Talking points from this episode include if grease is flammable, slipping around, and how horrible grease is. Bon appétit?

The greatest spell any wizard can cast is Wish, and it's been in D&D pretty much the entire time. Sadly, it is one of the most boring spells that Joe and Kim have ever encountered. Today we dig into the logic of genie rules, learn what "literally" means, and go over the finer points of asking a for trouble. We wish you well, and wish you enjoy this episode.

True Strike is one of the least regarded spells in D&D, 5th edition or arguably otherwise, but we here at What the Spell!? headquarters/wizard's tower believe otherwise, and on this episode, Kim and Joe will play nerd's advocate, and engineer the exact scenario where True Strike is perfect. Spoiler alert: we both succeed, don't change the spell's description in any way. I know. I'm shocked also.

Presto, hand magic! Joe and Kim go through the history of the spell Prestidigitation, a spell that is the functional equivalent of Batman's utility belt that has been in D&D since the 80s and still today in 5E. Topics include: metric superiority, nacho cheese rocks, pocket mice, popcorn burning in the breakroom, and rugs.

In the very first episode of What the Spell!?, Joe and Kim look at the spell Polymorph and True Polymorph, and discuss its wide and varied uses. Discussions in this episode include Cynthia Bigelow, the weight of a camel, life flashing before your eyes, and how steak isn't an object.
