First off I apolagize if there is already one of these but I seem to be unable to use the thread search.

Now to explain how this thread works: In the PHB it says that you should make up the discription of how the thread looks on your own so here is a place where you can describe the way a spell looks!

Example: A ball of force springs from your hand and collides without flaw with your opponent (magic missle)

That will be number 1

(1) A ball of force springs from your hand and collides without flaw with your opponent (magic missle)

2. A ring of etheral flame circles your form vertically, before focusing conically into your finger and firing forward, blasting your target with unparalleled ferocity. (A classic, fireball)

3. You begin chanting in sync with your strange gestures; your eyes flicker and shimmer with power, the hair of your arm stands erect. Your heart pulses a bit quicker, and off-beat. You reach out and grabbing the shoulders of the <insert enemy here> you feel it- the powerful release of electrical energy coursing through your finger tips and into the armor / flesh of <enemy>. <enemy> shakes violently, convulsing and twiching- (s)he loses control of bodily functions, the smell of fecis and urine mingles with that of seared flesh, <enemy> lets out an agonizing scream. Your eyes roll back in your head as your eyes spark wildly, fingers and hands trembling you finally release your foe. Your eyes seem glazed over, your mind and body fatigued. The <enemy> lies before you, still twitching as the last remnants of the shocking power ebbs out of him and into the earth. <Shocking Grasp>

4) A million rainbow colored points of light are drawn from everywhere and nowhere into you outstretched fist, only to explode outward moments later in a blinding cascade of chromatic glory (prismatic spray)

5) Ghostly blue-white fire erupts to life around your finger as you quickly trace a large circle in the air. The flame dies, leaving behind only a vague, translucent shimmer circumscribed in the air before you (shield)

6) As you chant, a pale golden nimbus surrounds your hands. Singing the praises of your god, you gently touch the wounded man laying before you. The golden light leaves your hands, flowing to the gash in his side and seeping into it like liquid, sealing the wound as if it had never existed (cure light wounds, cast by a cleric of Pelor)

7) A gap seems to open in the heavens and a single beam of light soars down and fixes itself to the hilt of your <weapon>. (Holy sword)

8) Five (six if airborn/under water ect) massive sheets of wrought iron fly from noware and make a perfect box around you, then fade, yet remaining in some undifinable way. (Sanctury by cleric or Mordrin)

9) A fist of flames breaks open the ground at your oponents' feet and soars upwards. (flame strike (yes I know it tecknicaly goes from up to down but still) from an evil cleric.)

10) As you chant a cloud of smoke seems to form, as you contine the spell it closes getting better and better difined, like a backwards explosion. (summon monster__)

11) The target of the spell seems to quiver, then they scream as the whole of their body begins to leak black light, through ever folicle and sweat pore. (Harm)
