United We Stand: The Tank raises their weapon in the air, inspiring nearby allies, reducing the damage they take by up to 20% for 10 seconds. The effect is reduced if the ally is more than 5 yards away from the tank, reduced to 5% at 15 yards. (2-10 minute cooldown).
Battlemage:
Proxy's Stigma - Stance. When active all mage spells are executed as melee attacks. Single target spells as thrusts AoE spells as round strikes. Spells cast that way have reduced cooldown by 15%, cost and BASE damage by 30%. Average weapon damage is added to TOTAL spell damage. Spells cast that way also carry weapon on hit effects. Weapon on hit effects are amplified by 50% while the stance is active.
Duelist:
Blooded Crown - Marks the target for 7 seconds. Every hit dealt against that target stacks a dormant bleed debuff that equals 33% of damage suffered while mark was active. When the effect is finished the target starts to bleed over next 7 seconds for the damage stored. Blooded crown can be activated again while the bleeding is in effect to heal the caster for the amount of damage bled. Activating Bleeding Crown again ends bleeding effect early.
Necormancer:
Grey Retinue - summon several spirits of the dead in targeted area. Spirits cannot be affected by attacks and spells. Every hit deals x to y magic damage and slows the target by 10%. Cursed targets take priority in Grey Retinue threat table. If an enemy dies within the range of the spell its duration is refreshed and area, and spirit count increased by 25%. This effect can stack up to 4 times.
Cultist:
Soul Grasp - when cast on enemy target creates its immobile copy at the target's location. The copy lasts up to 10 seconds and has 10% of target's max health and takes 50% increased damage. Dealing damage to the copy transfers all damage dealt to the original target and an additional 50% damage if the copy was killed.
one idea is having between 4-8 sword flying in the air to due various styles of aoe damage rathe it be cone shape or circle.
another is channel elements in to your swords like ice or lighting and send them at you enemies like a ranged spell just the swords would be delivering them instead.
Drain spell
It would drain hp of a partymembero or yourselve to empower your next Spell.
That could be a mechanic of the Nightspell or Shadow Lord
Channel - You start to channel magic from the area. Effect: Mana regen.
Slizard's Calamity - You pull a meteor from the sky, landing it on your enemies. Effect: Biggest damage and biggest AoE spell, costs 100% mana.
Fast Casting - You attune with the aether around you on a more physical level. Effect: For the next X seconds, reduce casting time for spells by Y seconds.
Arcane Flurry - The arcane energies respond to your cadence. Effect: Fire a seeking arcane missile for each spell cast in the last X seconds. Single target.
For me, the only good day is one filled with study and explosions.

Draining your own party member?! That'd be interesting. Maybe you could cast a mark on one of your party members beforehand, and then they're the patsy for all your Drain skills. I'd actually really like to see a set of skills like that: powerful damage skills, but damage one of your own in the process. Can turn the tide of a battle, but only when you time it right.
The caster summons a food-laden table on the ground, with an accompanying waiter. Players can interact and receive a temporary buff for the battle ahead.
that sounds cool
