Examples

7: Shrink
5: Wall

7: Animal

Bone

2: Forked

Cracked and split

5: Holes

Cracks that run through the bone

2: Sparking

In the marrow

This dry, broken bone still feels somehow alive with twisted energy. It splits near the end, and inside the many cracks and holes there can sometimes be seen a crackle of dark energy. Casts out an elongated field of dark indigo lightning that will reach out to shock anything that passes over it, reducing its size dramatically for a brief period.

2: Fire
4: Circle

3: Noble metal (3: Platinum)

1: Straight

3: Ripples

Carvings of fish and waves

4: Oozing

Fish oil or algae

Powerful in the hands of a merfolk, on the surface world it feels slick and stinks of the sea. Some may call it cursed, but in truth it is simply out of place. Its power causes all liquid within the area of effect to ignite with green flames that burn water almost as if it were oil.

6: Negation
3: Cone

8: Combination of 6: Glass and 3: Noble metal (4: Mercury)

Hollow glass, full of mercury

4: Crooked

3: Ripples

5: Distortion

Extends the pattern of the ripples

An elongated, narrow cone of glass. It has a rough surface, carved in a wavy pattern that seems to extend an inch or so beyond the surface. Inside it contains some liquid metal that seems averse to heat.

Seems good for making some crazy looking wands. Maybe I'll come up with a wand effect table, or you can just use your spell list of choice.
