"I've connected a series of 17 dummy spells to create a particle effect around the player that does nothing whatsoever. I then created a spell in 6 lines of XML that teleports the player, nukes everything around him, and creates a super sweet item. Seems legit."
The latter would have to be two spells. Combining a teleport with any template that targets more than one square makes you teleport to every single square in that template. Which, while amusing, is kinda sorta a complete waste of the player's time.
Regarding modding sayings, "I'm sure I did everything right. What could go wrong." <Diablo II Access Violation C000005 error message appears.> Doh! What, you didn't say they had to be all Dredmor related.

"Preliminary code is done. Let's see how hard it crashes." "But my code was the same as yours. How did yours work but mine didn't?"
