Effect: This spell enables the caster to cause the
subject to perceive everything as hilariously funny.

The effect is not
immediate, and the subject creature will feel only a slight tingling on
the round the dweomer is placed, but on the round immediately following,
it will begin smiling, then giggling, chuckling, tittering, snickering,
guffawing, and finally collapsing into gales of uncontrollable
hideous laughter. Although this magic mirth lasts only a single round,
the affected creature must spend the next round regaining its feet,
and it will be at -2 from its strength (or -2 “to hit” and damage) on the
3rd and 4th rounds following the spell casting. A successful save versus
spell negates the effect. The saving throw depends on the intelligence
of the creature. Creatures with intelligence of 3 or less are
totally unaffected. Those with intelligence of 4-8 save at -6; those with
intelligence of 9-1 2 save at -4; those with intelligence of 13-1 5 save at
-2; and those with intelligence of 16 or greater have normal saving
throw probability.

MC: The material components of the spell are a small
feather, a tiny wooden paddle, and a minute tort. The tort is hurled at
the subject, while the feather is waved in one hand and the paddle is
tapped against the posterior of the spell caster.

Did you make up named spells like Melf's Acid Arrow, Otiluke's Resilient Sphere and Mordenkainen's Disjunction () yourself, or did these come from player research?
 


All of those spells I made up, usually to hono a PC in my campaign, or for the person who suggested the basis
(Tasha was a little girl who sent me letters in crayon,
Nystul an actual stage magician I mey through Len Lakofka.)
Melf was a PC of son Luke,
and "Otiluke" was a combination of a couple of his other PCs.
He suggested the bases of both spells.
No need to go into Mordenkainen and bigby, I trust <rollingeyes>
