I'm buried right now and so don't know if I'll get to it this week.
However, you hit the nail on the head above: making a coherent
probability field for the entire game, this allowing the case concepts
of "luck" and "bad luck" to be selectively altered by the game both in
various areas, and for speficic characters, their objects, etc, (eg
touch the faery stone to be lucky). Another simple if ultimately
nasty spell would be to invert an opposing character's porbaiblity
matrix -- thus the vastly imporably suddenly becomes probable (special
case the handling of impossible becoming must-happen), and their best
skills/probabilities becomes useless.
