Mercenary Merlins
Mix those words together for a spell name, and then describe it to the GM! Your character sheet is a fill-in-the-blanks dating profile, and spell backfires result in physical mutations to your body. Play with a deck of cards, each containing two words.   (information to make your own cards is included in the main game, but if you wanted a print-and-play solution, you can get the cards for $1 here) Great for one-shots, but also contains a progression system for longer play.
