What's the craziest (possibly funniest) thing that happened, in your campaign, with the misuse of a spell?

So, in Warhammer Fantasy, there is a lot of funny spell effects. When you fumble a spell roll you roll on a different chart to see what happens. The results are mostly so hilarious that all the other players (basically everyone who ISNT the mage-player) is constantly praying for fumbles.

A couple of funny things that happened: I was GMing two groups at the same time. The leaders of both groups were brothers, but also enemies. Now, one of said brothers was a mage. He managed to roll a fumble that says: "roll again, whatever you roll happens to your next of kin". The result was that his brother, who was sleeping a couple day journeys away, was woken up in the middle of the night, because everything is his room started glowing. Not that doesnt seem so bad, but because the player and the character both had no idea what just happened, magic in Warhammer is generally considered bad and mistrusted AND the group the character was in had had a few run-ins with a cult of Tzeentch, the evil chaos god of magic, he became REALLY paranoid, trying to figure out for days what the hell that spell that hit is room was, and what other effects it might have had...

We were playing a Skaven adventure, where the players are ratmen and part of a large raiding force out to attack and enslave a small human town. They were sneaking around that town in the middle of the night, about 50 meters from the gates under the cover of darkness. That is when the Skaven wizard (Grey seer apprentice) rolled a fumble and started glowing like a lantern. The faces of the gate guards must have been priceless as they suddently saw a dozen armoured man-sized rats walking on two legs appear in said light...after that a gigantic (and unplanned) brawl ensued, for which the characters were actually punished later. Their boss didnt like that they had prewarned the "men-things" and fed one of the characters (obviously NOT the mage who was actually to blame, because even apprentice mages are scary) to a ratogre...
