When life gives you lemons, turn them into silver.

Being chased by a vampire? Turn your blood into silver... Wait

Tax bracket too high? Turn your gold into silver.

"do something with the air in someone's lungs" is so powerful and boring that most fantasy settings have specific rules to prevent it.

Sorry, someone's gotta be that person

Most GMs would rule against this as well, since e.g. create or destroy water could just kill anyone instantly (except maybe constructs, undead, etc)

dnd already has the "you have to be be able to see where you're casting" requirement on most spells, but considering none of the ideas in the original screenshot are possible in RAW, I'm going to assume this would be some bizarre powertripping homebrew where every idea players propose goes without argument.

Right, I kinda took it as a given that this was a "let me try out my cool idea" situation and therefore necessitating a gm ruling. Either that or some OSR rules-lite d&d variant where RAW doesn't specifically exclude those shenanigans.

ATLA/TLOK didn't, as Zaheer and the Earth Queen found out.

Fighting a chromatic dragon, turn it to silver and gain an ally.

A particularly healthy set of lungs contains 4litres (5 grams) of air, assuming a conservation of mass, that's less than one ml of silver, being a noble metal, the silver harmlessly disapates into the theifs bloodstream over the next couple years, at worst turning them blue. The awakened mushroom sorcerer hidden in the theifs pocket casts an actually good spell, such as fireball.

Turn the fireball into silver.

[–] mipadaitu 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm thinking that an equal mass of silver would take up less space in the lungs, creating a vacuum with a 4 liter volume, and the sudden inrush of air to fill the remaining space would destroy all their soft tissue.

I am picturing a non-instanteous transmutation, as seen in Harry Potter etc... (DnD would also count spells like "true polymorph" having a casting time of 1 action (~6second).) Not a barotrauma specialist, so can't comment on instantaneous case.

I appreciate that the post is about transmutation, and the text is colored like the trans flag.

[–] Stamets 4 points 2 weeks ago

Me too. My trans roommie got a giggle out of it.

This dude's D&D character is Johnny Tremaine.

Colours check out for the bonus utility

This guy may be bootleg king midis.

Everything turns to silver

[–] EmpathicVagrant 2 points 2 weeks ago

If it can be seen it can be silver
