Random Spell Table Designed for Dungeons & Dragons 5E
Rolling for a random spell is easy! First determine whether you want to roll for spells level Cantrip - 5 (1d6) or spells level Cantrip - 9 (1d10) then roll on the table below.
Dice Result Spell Level
1 Cantrip 2 level 1
3 level 2
4 level 3
5 level 4
6 level 5
7 level 6
8 level 7
9 level 8
10 level 9
Easy, right? Now for the fun part. Once the level of spell has been determined go to the corresponding table, starting on the next page, & roll 1d100 to determine the spell* that is cast.
This table was made specifically for unique magic items created by Rat King NOW! Though it can be used in any scenario. The items are free and can be found on my DMs Guild page or Blog: ratkingnow.wordpress.com

I got my inspiration for this when watching my party’s warlock roll wild magic. My players are always so elated or utterly defeated by the results and it was something that not even I, the DM, could predict. It created a really special moment around the table, whether it miraculous or disastrous. I began creating some items that would use random spells from the 5E Player’s Handbook and realized there just weren’t any random spell tables that were easy to navigate. I hope this helps you as much as it will me. You can find the items that are meant to be used with this, along with other free custom D&D material on my DMs Guild page or my blog:
