      Having recently started reading Discworld, I am now contractually obligated to inform you that the color word you’re looking for is octarine.

      I associate the word, Eldritch, with a dark purple color. So that spell has never been anything but a purple glob to me.

      If I remember it’s description right it’s a blast of the power of your god

      So whatever color your god/you want it to be, I’d imagine. Had a friend do tentacles that burst forward and slapped the shit out of enemies for hers.

      I could check the sourcebook to confirm but that’s a whole different app to switch to…

        Tentacles that burst forward and slapped the shit out of enemies?

        Grant us eyes, grant us eyes…

        I only have the SRD available right now and that describes it as “a beam of crackling energy” but yeah, this is far too attractive a stylistic opportunity to not make use of it.

        Besides, “crackling energy” is pretty broad already and leaves room for a variety of colors, sounds, and particle effects. Going from there to “magical 120ft tentacle that disappears after a second” isn’t that much to ask for.

      One time, I flavored my EB by throwing mystical coins to my targets. I was playing a failed merchand that sold his soul for an edge.

        EB is ripe for reflavoring. My favorite version was just gun. I made a cowboy warlock with magic revolvers he shot his Eldritch Blasts out of. Was lots of fun.

    If it’s a celestial warlock they might be a sub-contractor for the paladin’s deity of choice!

      And if someone’s a Cleric or Paladin, they might follow an evil god. Where did the Warlock = evil idea come from?

    All my fire spells are violet and my lightning spells look like those plasma globes

    I am playing a purple dragon who got partly cursed into being human; so I use Dragonborn stats but look human.

      Partly cursed? So there are upsides to it besides looking human with the stamina of a giant purple dragon?

        Nah, it’s just that the curse didn’t entirely take; which is why she’s a draconic bloodline sorcerer. She’s still kind of a dragon, and tends to vastly overestimate her abilities (she is the tank, and has 16 health at level 2)
