Arcane Hand

Hand of Darkness

A sinister spell which creates a large black hand with a glowing eye on its back that is covered in a beetle-like carapce and smells of brimstone.

Fly

Interestingly, it doesn't say how the fly spell allows creatures to fly, so the effect is up to you. The creature you touch could fly using "wings" made of magical energy, or use some sort of contragravity effect.

Ice Storm

Skull Storm

A spell which causes skulls to rain from the sky, inflicting necrotic damage instead of cold damage.

Magic Missile

Conjure Fists

Instead of firing darts, this version of the spell fires fists made of force that pummel creatures they hit.

Power Word Sit

Overwhelming Awe

Instead of a commanding a creature to take a seat with your voice, you radiate an aura of godlike awe that forces creatures to prostrate themselves before you.

Sandcast

Mudblast

Instead of using sand, you hurl a glob of mud at your target for the same effect.
