A Spell For All Time: Feral Froth

Never let it be said I don’t listen to my readers reader! Here we are with another edition of “A Spell For All Time”! The earlier edition is here, of course.
A bruief recap: At Gencon, I pick up “Eldritch Weirdness” by Matt Finch, which includes within it a spell name generator. I decided to roll some dice, and, given a name, iterate the spell across multiple editions of D&D, showing the evolution and transformation of the game system over time.
Today, I rolled a “6″, putting me on the “F” column, and then a 35, for “Feral”, and a 91, for “Froth”.
Hunh.
Well, let’s see what we get, here, shall we? Onwards! As Stan Lee would say, “Jack who? No, I did everything myself.” Wait, no, that’s the wrong Stan Lee quote. Lemme see here… ah yes. Excelsior!
Feral Froth
Hmmm. Feral Froth.
“Feral” is a great word. I got really excited with it. “Froth” isn’t bad, it’s just not as cool as it could be. I have two ideas immediately: One, the very name conjures forth the image of a rabid beast, “frothing at the mouth”. But “froth” also suggests storms, waves, and so on. It’s harder, though not impossible, to fit “feral” to that definition, though. An angry water elemental, maybe?
No, I think I’ll go with my first instinct. My experience has been that, creatively, my gut reaction is usually (not always, usually) right, and the more I over-think and over-analyze and second-guess myself, the worse the outcome. So, Feral Froth…

While the selection of druidic spells in Eldritch Wizardry is certainly adequate to provide years of campaign play, it is well and truly noted that you cannot have too many spells! For that reason, we present this selection of optional and additional spells which may find their way into your games! Dungeon Masters, be sure to consider all the ramifications of these potent charms of the mysterious nature priests, and do not forget that your NPCs may also have access to them!
