The number of good battlefield spells is extremely large. What kind of effects are you looking for?

Well here are some suggestions sorted by sphere:

Fire: Fireball / Incinerate
Air: Lightning bolt / Wrathful skies
Water: Falling frost / Frozen heart
Earth: Blade wind / Petrify
Nature: Sleep / Breath of the Dragon
Astral: Mind burn / Soul slay
Death: Shadow bolt / Decay
Blood: Summon Imps / Agony

These are just some examples - what you need to take into consideration is what kind of magic is available to your mages/pretender and is there some synenergi with respect to research. E.g. frozen heart and quickness both come from the alteration school of magic.

I hope that helped - I remember how vast the spell options seemed when I started to play

Fire : Flare

Especially if you guys play with "research is difficult" like my group does.

Flare is powerful, easily cast and easy to research. Very underappreciated.

You feel mind burn is better than paralize?

Don't forget enslave mind. ok it's astral 4, but with R'lyeh you can have it easly.

It's twice better enslaving an unit from killing it. And you can keep the enslaved ones after the battle

bladewind : it's a good spell only if your mage have a good precision.

Air spells: I hate friendly fire, so my air mages cast invocations : false horror, Phantasmal Warrior, gost wolves.
