Can someone compile a list or post any spells that do continuing damage every round? Perferably Sorc/Wiz spells.

The only two examples I can think of at the moment is:
Melf's Acid Arrow
Flaming Sphere

Anyone know of other spells that do continuing damage (any level) that is also an elemental subtype (fire, electric, acid, cold)?

No one knows any spells with continuing elemental damage? I've been looking through the spells but haven't found anything besides those two listed above. I need to decide on spells soon for my Sorc and I'm looking for spells with continual elemental damage. Can anyone help me out?

There's this 9th lv spell called chains of binding fate in waterdeep that does 2d6 force damage each round, as well as preventing the target from using SU abilties, casting spells and SLAs, as well as transforming etc.

Force isn't "elemental." I'm done searching through the entire PHB for spells and I've only found a few others including:

Acid Fog
Fire Shield
Flaming Sphere
Incendiary Cloud
Melf's Acid Arrow
Wall of Fire

Now I just have to search through all of Spell Compendium, which will be hard without a *.pdf version :-/

Freezing Fog gives a d6 of cold damage every round (in addition to all its other great effects).

What book is Freezing Fog in?

Originally in CA, updated in SC. Though in my opinion, the update is crap. FF basically combines solid fog and grease. I dont see that adding up to a 6th level spell. IMO the original placement (5th level) was more appropriate.

Ok, well I spent a few hours and went through every spell in the PHB and SpC that had an elemental subtype and had a duration longer than 1 round and/or had the ability to do damage over a period of time and I came up with a list. If anyone has spells that meet the critera above and isn't listed below tell me. (These spells are for Sorc/Wiz, although might be for other classes)

PHB:

Acid Fog (Conj 6)

Fire Shield (Evo 4)

Flaming Sphere (Evo 2)

Incendiary Cloud (Conj 8)

Melf's Acid Arrow (Conj 2)

Wall of Fire (Evo 4)

Wall of Ice (Evo 4)

SpC:

Acid Sheath (Conj 5) [X]

Blistering Radiance (Evo 4)

Burning Sword (Evo 2) [X]

Fire Spiders (Conj 6) [X]

Firebrand (Evo 5) [X]

Fires of Purity (Evo 6)

Flame Dagger (Evo 2) [X]

Freezing Fog (Conj 6)

Ice Claw (Evo 7) [X]

Lightning Ring (Evo 8) [X]

Thunderhead (Evo 1) [X]

Vitriolic Sphere (Conj 5)

[X] Means it is limited in Living Greyhawk.

I'm probably missing a few so let me know if you catch any.
