They've already spoiled a card called "Sword of Dungeons and Dragons" in the next UN set. Which got me thinking...
If they, the WotC R&D people, asked YOU to design a new, never before printed Magic card and told you it was for the new UN set and that it HAD to have the same name and evoke the same flavor as a spell from the D&D Player's Handbook, what would you come up with? Please include casting cost, type of spell (sorcery, instant, etc), describe the art in words, or link a pic if you want to mock one up, and remember that it can't just a be "I'd reprint Lightning Bolt!". Also, I'm not looking for monsters from the Monster Manual per se, but rather spells from the Player's Handbook. Any relatively recognizable D&D spell is fine, but for reference I'm thinking mostly of the 3.0 and 3.5 versions, though older stuff would be perfectly fine. Here's my first idea:
Melf's Acid Arrow
Instant
Cost G
Put two -1/-1 counters on target creature with flying. At the beginning of the next upkeep, put two -1/-1 counters on that creature.
Art: An elf wizard magically hurling a green arrow-shaped effect at a flying dragon, demon, or something.
The Other Lightning Bolt
Sorcery 1RR
While this spell is on the stack, your opponents may not change the position of any permanents he or she controls.
Choose a creature card you control that is no further than one foot from your library. The Other Lightning Bolt does 3 damage to all creatures intersected by a straight line starting from any point on the chosen card, and travelling in any direction. (Solve all disputes with a string of any length, pulled taut and with one end held firm on the chosen creature card).
Undead Turning2W
Instant (R)
Tap all creatures your opponents control. All creatures that are skeletons or zombies get -2/-2 until end of turn. If you control a Cleric, you may cast this for free.
