Maybe the first spell should be a fireball. Reason being is that it doesn't make sense that a lightning bolt should come from the sky in an underground dungen or in a enclosed cave. A more experienced wizard could do it from the finger tips like you showed in the video. But the whole collecting the lighting from the sky in your hand and then calling forth it from the heavens just doesn't seem right in the enclosed areas I have mentioned. Maybe you could make certain restrictions on certain spells. Like if you can swim under water any type of fire spell would not work at all.
(A nice map and spell idea. The Lizard race and it's aquatic home was made into an expansion. The Lizard race could either live under water and or just hold it's breath for a very long time and were the best swimmers. Spells in EQ that were expensive and or potions aloud either magic users or nonmagic users the ability to go underwater as well for long periods of time as well. The map in it self would only be for high level characters with a certain spells or with enough money to go exploring and you could make all sorts of under water creatures unique to that lands. Underwater lake to explore, underwater caverns, sea weed on the ground coral, non meaning schools of fish just for the look and feel. Not every thign has to be water on the map though. maybe after a while the water cavern opened up to dry parts. Maybe there could be an underwater boss as well. Like Posiden or the Craken etc. You would need to be in a high level party. No person by him self regardless the level should be able to beat it alone.)
Also maybe you could also make Grand Master spells if you have not done so already. Such as for the lightning skill you can charge a skill that would leave you vunerabel for a certain amount of time, but on the server that every one can see the clouds in an open plains map gather fast and hard and rolling thunder can be heard with a lighting flash here and there dancing in the clouds them selves. Then once the spell has been casted the lightning bolts come raining down from the heavens and is very powerful and does it repatedly with in a certain amount of space hitting random spots with multiple bolts hitting th eground as well.
Maybe the same could occur with white clouds with the ice skill. A blizzard starts after the white clouds cover the sky and both freezing snow and sleet come whirling around from the clouds and wind. The ground and trees temporarily get covered in about a foot of snow and all the enemies freeze in their tracks after a few seconds or instantly. Either than you can go and wack them to death where they break apart or they shatter as soon as they are frozen or they simply just "freeze" to death and collapse when the spell is completed and all the snow melts instantly.
I can think of a few others. This idea came from both Horizons which is a MMORPG where a Druid could call forth a lightning storm and it's own personal storm cloud formed from the sky. Also it is like Golden Axe, but instead of having max potions it is max skill which is why I called it a Grand Master spell.
