Some may be under powered or over powered, BUT this is more about ideas than actual ready to use spells. Parameters are occasionally sketchy when I didn't feel it was critical and the GMs could assign what they felt comfy with IF they use any of this.
So have at it...rip em apart, criticize, call me names, gnash your teeth...
