Wild Magic

Prerequisite: Must have the ability to cast spells or spell-like ability.

Effect: You have 10% arcane spell failure, that affects all of your spells and spell-like abilities. This arcane spell failure chance stack with other sources of arcane spell failure but cannot be negated by effects that lower arcane spell failure. Whenever you fail to cast a spell or spell-like ability due to this arcane spell failure, the surge of magic has an unattended side effect, rolling from the table below:

You may avoid the effect of this flaw by casting your spells carefully. You cast a spell which requires a standard action or less to cast as a full-round action. Spells with a casting time greater than a standard action instead have their casting time doubled.

Benefit: Any bonus feat for which you meet the prerequisites.

Special: You must maintain a caster level equal to at least half your class level to gain the benefit of this flaw.
