    results:
      - { range: [1, 1], name: "The spell carries a distinct smell (ozone, lilacs, woodsmoke, brine, wet stone). DM picks at creation." }
      - { range: [2, 2], name: "A faint chime, drumbeat, or tone sounds at the moment the spell resolves, audible within 60 ft." }
      - { range: [3, 3], name: "The verbal component must be sung or chanted, not spoken. Casting in silence is impossible." }
      - { range: [4, 4], name: "The caster's eyes briefly glow a specific color while casting and for 1 round after." }
      - { range: [5, 5], name: "A small harmless creature (moth, frog, finch, mouse) manifests within 5 ft of the caster, lingers 1 round, then disperses." }
      - { range: [6, 6], name: "The spell requires a pinch of an unusual but cheap component (graveyard dust, river silt, a pressed flower petal), consumed each casting." }
      - { range: [7, 7], name: "Plants within 10 ft visibly bend toward (or away from) the caster during casting." }
      - { range: [8, 8], name: "The spell's visual manifestation has an unintended secondary color (fireball laced with green sparks, healing light tinged violet)." }
      - { range: [9, 9], name: "Small loose objects within 5 ft (pebbles, leaves, dust, coins) lift an inch off the ground for the duration of the casting." }
      - { range: [10, 10], name: "A specific minor sensation hits the caster on completion: a brief nosebleed, a single sneeze, a 1-minute ringing in the ears, hiccups." }
      - { range: [11, 11], name: "The caster's hair, cloak, or clothing stands or stirs as if in a wind that no one else feels, for 1 round after casting." }
      - { range: [12, 12], name: "The somatic component is unusually elaborate (a bowing flourish, a spinning step, a specific finger-knot)." }
      - { range: [13, 13], name: "A specific phrase, name, or invocation must be spoken as part of the verbal component (often the inventor's name, a mentor's name, or a phrase of nonsense)." }
      - { range: [14, 14], name: "Animals within 30 ft react audibly when the spell fires: dogs bark, horses startle, birds take wing, cats hiss." }
      - { range: [15, 15], name: "The spell's effect briefly appears in any mirror or still water within 30 ft, even when the caster is not in line of sight." }
      - { range: [16, 16], name: "The caster's shadow performs the somatic component a half-second behind them." }
      - { range: [17, 17], name: "A small sigil appears in chalk-like dust on the nearest flat surface when the spell is cast, fading after 1 minute." }
      - { range: [18, 18], name: "The caster's voice changes for 1 round after casting: deeper, higher, accented, or briefly someone else's voice." }
      - { range: [19, 19], name: "The spell will not function in a specific innocuous condition (over running water, indoors, while the caster is sitting, in direct sunlight)." }
      - { range: [20, 20], name: "The DM picks two quirks from this table, or invents one of comparable scope." }
