  1. Screen Slayer: All screens and other digical displays within 30 feet of the spellcaster flicker, flash, and display distorted binary runes.
  2. Low Resolution: For a split second the target of the spell or the spell effect itself appears to be a poorly rendered polygonal image from the days of 64 bit video games.
  3. Power Surge: Bolts of electricity leap between the spellcaster and the nearest power source.
  4. Sythesized Chior: A chorus of monotone, auto-tuned voices fill the air chanting in an ancient programming language.
  5. Pixel Jubilee: The air around the spellcaster distorts, resembling a shifting pixelated image.
  6. Gremlins: Mechanical and electronic devices within 30 feet of the spellcaster spark, smoke, and produce the tortured sound of grinding motors.
  7. Holographic Aura: Holographic graphs, charts, and arcane icons swirl arouns the spellcaster like a living, interactive HUD.
  8. Industrial Runoff: A think layer of innert chemical waste coats all surfaces within 5 feet of the spellcaster, shimmering like an oil slick.
  9. Code Matrix: Indecypherable computer code flows out from the spellcaster's location and scrolls up all walls within 30 feet.
  10. Magnets!: The spellcaster projects a fluxuating magnetic field. All objects composed of ferrous metal are pulled to or repelled from (choose randomly) the spellcaster's position.
