Cyril's Attempted Enhancement
(Alteration, Wild Magic)

Range:  0
Components:  V, S, M
Duration:  1 round
Casting Time:  5
Area of Effect:  One spell
Saving Throw:  None

With this spell, a wild mage can attempt to enhance one aspect of the next spell he casts. This second spell must be cast in the round immediately following the casting of Cyril's attempted enhancement. However, due to the randomness of the spell, the wild mage only has a 50% chance of enhancing the second spell.
The wild mage first casts this spell and states the aspect of the second spell he wishes to enhance. Possible aspects include the area of effect, range, duration, damage, or a -2 penalty to targets' saving throws. At the end of casting, the wizard is covered in a green glow. This glow is the latent energy he will direct into the second spell to attempt to enhance it. On the second round, the wizard casts his chosen spell. 
After Cyril's attempted enhancement is cast, the DM rolls 1d6. On a roll of 4-6, the chosen aspect of the second spell is doubled. On a roll of 1-3, the second spell still functions, but the chosen aspect is halved (or a +2 bonus is applied to the targets' saving throw) and a wild surge is generated from the uncontrolled magical energies. Regardless of the 1d6 roll, the level variation roll (see the Tome of Magic) must be applied before modifying. If the second spell is not cast in the round immediately after this spell is cast, Cyril's attempted enhancement is wasted. If the casting of either spell is interrupted, both spells are lost (the second spell is, in fact, tied into the first one when casting the first spell). 
The material components for this spell are identical to the spell to be enhanced. Note that this requires the mage to expend two of each material component in order to cast both spells. For example, to double the duration of a light spell, the caster needs two fireflies or two pieces of phosphorescent moss. If the second spell has no material component, no material component is needed for this spell.
