Beam
Fire a constant beam of energy in a straight line. Affects any creatures that are standing in the line, and any that pass through it. Costs mana and deals damage again at the end of each turn after the turn you cast this until it's interrupted. You may change the beams direction as a minor action. Making an attack, moving or being attacked will interrupt this. You may cast any other non-beam spell while maintaining this.

Cone
Affects a cone shape in front of the character.

Explosion

Target Area

Target Creature

Stream
Creates a stream of energy in a straight line in front of the caster for as many turns as they sustain it. Affects any creatures that are standing in the line, and any that pass through it. Deals damage and costs mana at the end of every turn each turn after its cast until it's interrupted. Making an attack, moving or being attacked will interrupt this.
