BTW, I made the above spell including the new land in less than 5 minutes. ANYONE can make these spells and effects.

It is always fun to make spells that destroy the world... in interesting ways. Are there chasms in this iteration?

1. Asteroid spell - leaves huge, fiery crater.

2. Rise Sea Level spell - hide in the mountains (or build an ark) and drown your enemies!

3. Wall of Fire spell - creates wall of fire across all land. It's not impassable, but who will dare?

4. Dead Space spell - makes everyone in the area undead.

5. Lightning Force spell - makes huge damage to everyone wearing metal stuff or near water.

6. Ice Age (aka Winter is Coming) spell - makes it so cold that every unit looses half HP and cannot move for 3 turns.

7. Winds of Change spell - summons the biggest hurricane known to man. Can put out Wall of Fire, but at what cost?

8. Terraforming Tree spell - plants huge and growing tree that gradually terraforms nearby terrain, destroying all previous life in the process. Wall of Fire will (eventually) kill it, but at the same time will create the biggest fire known to all gods - old and new alike.

9. Ghost of Winter spell - summons the most powerful ghostwriter that will help GRRM finishing A Song of Ice and Fire series.

Champion Algore casts anthropogenic global warming spell: all sea levels rise 50 meters to gain 10,000 gold. It would have a multi-turn cast requirement and fortunately can be disrupted.

Great idea!!!

Heh heh.

Spells that summon a monster lair, a demon gate, a breach in the ground, whatever. Monsters come forth and attack the SK and maybe the player too. 

Ex: Call of the Serpent King. An ancient temple is unearthed, spewing forth deadly serpents until destroyed.

Ex: The Crystal Forest. A piece of forest is transformed into deadly, living shardlike entities. 

Ex: The Bound Dragon. A dragon is summoned and bound to protect a piece of land. The dragon will attack nearby opponents, but otherwise not venture out.

Animate Terrain - That mountain you created to wall off a shard? Turns into a mad rampaging Torax.

Vortex - Your very own Bermuda Triangle.

Perpetual Darkness - Make things go bump in the night. (Reduces sight by 1)

Locusts - Starve cities that happen to be in its path.

Soulnado - Wrench the souls out of armies and cities with this randomly wandering horror, creating undead in their stead.

Reverse Midas - curse unit to create barren land wherever it stays for the end of turn

Monster Magnet - each turn a monster lair gets one step closer to the designated location. Along with its attendant guardian.

False Flag - deal damage to a minor faction, making it seem like the other side did it to gain favor with them. (if you do it, the Doom Counter gets raised)

Trap Shard - if the SK destroys this shard, it explodes in his face and reduces the DC by 25.

Since SK conceptualized as an asymmetrical game, it is possible for very unbalanced spell effects to exist that would be hard to justify in traditional fantasy strategy games. All numbers are suggestions, I've not played the game so I cannot make informed decisions on what would make for appropriately balanced values.

I think it is important to have a mix of symmetrical and asymmetrical spells (i.e. whether it affects all parties equally, etc)

Good idea!...except Godzilla isn't canon.

Destroy him, my robots! (Stay awhile, stay forever! Muhahahahaha!)

Or the Democrats. (or really any politician for that matter.)
