I was only going to Like this spell, but then I read the Talk page and noticed that the caster doesn't have control over Big T. Oops?

Double Trouble

But what if two people cast the spell at the same time?

Watches in horror as the tarrasque is ripped in half -- Eiji-kun 22:41, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

This is a spell, so for all we know there are at least 200 tarrasques running around in the world, because every spell caster who can is going to want to learn this spell and thus create their own kanji monster.--Change=Chaos. Period. SC 02:06, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
The Monster Manual says that only one Tarrasque exists. --Ideasmith 02:42, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
It's a calling spell. If a second person casts the spell, they'll call it right out from the first person's grasp unless it's been dimensional anchored or something. It's not possible to do something at precisely the same time as someone else as far as I can remember. --Foxwarrior 08:54, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
Ready action casting go!  :D Synchronized casting, kill the tarrasque!
(Also still impractical, as all the casters in all the infinite planes, the chance of someone summoning at the same time as you reaches 1.) -- Eiji-kun 09:33, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
If the tarrasque is ripped in half, it won't die. --Foxwarrior 10:03, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
The inculsion of this spell invites paradox. Either there are multiple tarrasques in the world that uses this spell. (Maybe one for each plane... bwahaha fiendish half dragon elemantal tarrasque!) or you need a system for the inevitable time that someone summons a tarrasque at the same time as someone else. One or the other, so make a damn choice already!--Change=Chaos. Period. SC 17:11, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
Would it regenerate and become 2 tarrasques?
If that was how regeneration worked, you could make an earth-sized planet out of a Troll in 13 hours, or an earth-sized planet out of a Tarrasque in 3 hours, assuming you had good enough knives. --Foxwarrior 03:32, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
If it's always the largest part that is considered the actual creature, then it really takes a full 650 trillion years or something. --Foxwarrior 03:36, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

(Reset) You know, this doesn't say you have CONTROL over the Tarrasque... -- Eiji-kun 10:58, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Why so it doesn't. Is that a poor oversight or a humorous shortcoming, in your opinion? --Foxwarrior 17:55, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
I'm gonna go with the latter. X3 -- Eiji-kun 22:13, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
