I've been trying to put together a list of spells that could ruin someone's day if they are using Astral Projection. Specifically, I'm looking at spells that do not kill the target, but rather render them unable to act or might cause other non-death inconveniences (e.g., body swapping). So far I've come up with the following:
Flesh to Stone
Imprisonment
Temporal Stasis
Trap the Soul
Major Mind Swap
Anyone got some others for that list?
(Thanks in advance!)
Sepia Snake Sigil springs to mind.
Baleful Polymorph. Imagine returning to your body to find that it's now an emu or a Goblin Dog or something.
Blindness/Deafness, Irregular Size, Flexile Curse, or any other permanent curse wouldn't be too fun for them.
The deceptively pleasant sounding Green Caress is a very, VERY nasty one, too, though you might need to lower the body's ability scores with other long or permanent duration things like Bestow Curse as well to make it really stick, depending on the victim.
The Spellcrash spells would be particularly annoying, though not too difficult to remedy.
Teleport, Greater Teleport, and Plane Shift would be pretty bad, too.
Do non-physical int, Wis or Cha damage spells. Those should transfer back to the original body upon death/dispel of the Astral projection spell.

So, something like Feeblemind or Primal Regression? (The latter being less permanent...and I guess those two spells are more like penalties than damage per se)
Does anyone recall more examples of such spells?I think the Bestow Curse spells were alluded to earlier as well.
I guess Polymorph Any Object could be pretty annoying, too (for different reasons mostly).
A good variety so far!

That does, indeed, fall under permanent duration curses as I mentioned before, as well as noting its use in conjunction with Green Caress.
Speaking of curses that I mentioned: just try to picture someone returning to their body with two uses of Irregular Size on them. Itty bitty arms and legs, but normal sized head and body. Imagine their reaction!
