Eldritch Eddy

Violent, Uncontrolled Magical Whirlwind

Habitat Urban — Treasure None

When magical energy becomes dangerously unstable, it sometimes animates into an eldritch eddy: an uncontrolled whirlwind of Evocation magic that crackles with fire and lightning. Eldritch eddies typically arise where magic use is heavy and irresponsible, such as near a fanatical mage's sanctum, a workshop that churns out magic items, or a library where undertrained scribes work with Spell Scrolls. Eldritch eddies are common in ancient Netheril near the homes and workplaces of famous mages.
Eldritch eddies rampage with one purpose: destroy as much in their paths as possible. Before eldritch eddies manifest, telltale signs signal their arrival. Roll on or choose a result from the Eldritch Eddy Manifestations table to inspire what happens right before an eldritch eddy arises.
