The Spell Klutz table is used whenever a spellcasting character, artifact or creature activates a spell or casts one and fails their initial spellcasting roll. It also comes into play when a target has the trait Spell Distortion. Occasionally it also happens when an artifact is damaged, and from situations of Mystic Influences.
The Table is a d100 table, containing 100 distinct separate effects.
