Finally finished all the magic spells. I'll definitely balance them more and add better effects, etc. Also added an end cut-scene to Chapter 3, lots of new script commands, new status effect, and a couple minor tweaks and bug fixes. Just gotta do one more patch to add new baddies and I can start on the Ch.4 story.

There are about 60 spells total. Here's a video showing a few spells, including Control Weather, Call Lightning, Mycanoid Colony, and Chilling Orb.
