You can configure a Custom Roll Table by replacing the default name in the settings with your own version.

When a surge happens you can specify your own macro to run. Note this will only trigger a macro setup on the GM user.
Included is a compendium containing examples and the javascript for them are in /scripts/macros.

Another option allows you to recharge Tides of Chaos automatically on a Wild Magic Surge.
Dice Formula
Set a custom dice formula you want to roll to check for a Wild Magic Surge. The default is 1d20.

Enabling this setting will automate Wild Magic Surge for Non Player Characters as well as Player Characters. Ensure the NPC has the Wilg Magic Surge feat.

What is the dice roll result you want to check against. The default is 1.
Can also set multiple target results using a comma seperated value list like 1, 3, 5, 10, 19
Roll result boolean expression

Auto surge on spell use after Tides of Chaos has been used
When Tides of Chaos is used, any 1st level spell and higher will trigger a surge and restore your Tides of Chaos.
Setup varying Wild Magic Surge triggers dependent on spell level
Adds the ability to set your own roll evaluation dependent on the spell level used.
For example
- A lvl 1 spell only triggers wild magic if a 1 is rolled on the d20
- A lvl 4 spell triggers if a 4 or lower is rolled
- A lvl 9 triggers if a 9 or lower is rolled
Special thanks to Jackolas126 for this suggestion.
Spell Regex for Multiclass spells
The RegEx to differentiate between sorcerer spells and non sorcerer spells. This assumes the sorcerer spells to be renamed like Magic Missile (S). Special characters must be escaped!
Special thanks to Jakob Huber for this suggestion and Pull Request.
Play animation on Surge
On a Wild Magic Surge, the token that triggered the Surge will get an animation play. This requires the awesome https://github.com/fantasycalendar/FoundryVTT-Sequencer and https://github.com/Jules-Bens-Aa/JB2A_DnD5e modules to be installed and active.
Roll for surge on Cantrips
Standard rules are 1st Level and higher to trigger a surge. This also enables it for Cantrips.
Encounter Statistics Module Integration
