Favorite Mage Spell in a Game

in General Discussion
To draw inspiration of course it's good to think of our favorite spells in a game. From a mage or similar class. Check out Storm of the Century from Dragon Age Origins, it created an over the top blizzard with lightning and fire, if I'm not mistaken. Having a special op ability to use on occasion.

Anyone have some op ability they always remember?

    Apocalypse in diablo one.

    As a kid I remember wanting to find the book to learn the spell. I am pretty sure the book was a hacked item.

    I just remember getting the staff and casting the spell that makes everything on the screen explode.

    Feels good.

    Here's a good sample of it.

    Living bomb in Heroes of the storm was always fun when it popped off.

    Living bomb was a dot you would apply to a player and after it ended it would explode in an aoe and it would reapply again to all the players hit causing a chain reaction that could wipe out the enemy team if they don't spread out.

    I love that mechanic in general and hope (but seriously doubt) we get something like that in Ashes

    I doubt us players would get it, but I could see it as a boss mechanic.

    Polymorph from WoW gotta be hands down
    Simple yet effective

    I remember when Living Bomb in WoW was overpowered. Here you see how much fire was everywhere. If you don't run out of group it gets on everyone. It was nasty.

    Yeah, it's an interesting machinic. The enemy heals up but you get to reset the fight. It's also funny. Like how mages can be oddballs, Sheogorath. Here I'm dropping another video link. Sheogorath sends you to high above the map. The mad god strikes again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayShxYJPLsY

    I'm mostly interested in the ideas. They are still developing and I hear some complaints about mages being too basic so I thought of posting some creative mage hocus pocus.

    The new PvP talent they added in this new expansion is that if you spec into “Master Shepherd” for Polymorph, it no longer heals anymore
