So there's been many times when I see a piece of art (Pathfinder or not), and I wonder, "What spell are they casting?" So I figured we could turn this into a game (hopefully this thread doesn't get moved).
In the thread, we can link pictures of Pathfinder or other fantasy art and the community can take guesses at what spell is being cast. Bonus points for why. It should be a Pathfinder specific spell, and for those of you that might have homebrewed spells lying around, if you'd like to, post your homebrewed spell for the picture in question.
Note: All pictures were found through Google so if this game in any means infringes on copyright laws, please go after the people who posted the pictures online, not me. ;)
Link 1: Pain Strike
Link 2: The Half-Orc has an active defensive judgment and the Gnome is gearing up to Summon Nature's Ally
Link 3: Misfortune Hex, because the lowest giant looks like he just tripped and crit his pants
Link 4: Control Water
Link 5: That's an active Protection from Evil spell
Link 6: The Oracle just has a magic staff that glows. The evil guy is gearing up for Enervation.
Link 7: It's about to be Lightning Bolt
Link 8: Telekinesis
Link 9: Burst of Radiance
Link 10: Some kind of magic item is using Hold Person on the guy before he gets coup de graced by a Vampiric Touch
Link 11: A super hot chick (way hotter than the real Morrigan in Dragon Age) using Living Bomb on a Darkspawn...er, wait, uh, in Pathfinder terms, it actually looks like she's using Inflict X Wounds to heal an undead buddy
Link 12: FART BOMB! Ok, actually Undeath to Death (well, actually a WoW Mage using Blast Wave)
Link 13: Bigby's Bean Flicking Hand--doesn't she looked really surprised, like you caught her doing something embarassing? I'm going to say it's Read Magic.
Link 14: Raise Dead
Link 10 is definitely some Mythic Tier stuff. That's Baba Yaga binding an NPC you meet in part 3 of Reign of Winter, IIRC.

15: Summon Monster (Fire Elemental)
16: ...Erase?
17: Breeze (to keep that hair blowing)
18: Frigid Touch (from an Ulfen Magus)
19: Prestidigitation (to practice her Arcane Mark)
20: Ascending to lichdom. He's storing his soul in the book to make it his phylactery.
21: Fire Snake
22: Fire Shield (Hot)
23: Geniekind for the polymorph, Elemental Assessor for the casting
24: Fire Shield (Cold)
25: Shadow Projection
26: Terraform
Link 15: Firesnake--I even can vaguely see a snake face in the flames in the right side of the picture
Link 16: Doesn't link to anything
Link 17: She has a held charge of Chill Touch
Link 18: The beginning of Snowball
Link 19: Witches don't get prestidigitation, so I'm going to say Guidance
Link 20: He just read the sentence: "I prepared Explosive Runes today."
Link 21: It looks like she's being bound by ropes of fire, so maybe she's the victim of some kind of supernatural (not spelllike) power that traps you in fire?
Link 22: Lesser Globe of Invulnerability getting hit by a Burning Arc
Link 23: Some weird raced chick with all four versions of Elemental Touch active
Link 24: Frigid Touch
Link 25: Shadow Step
Link 26: It's going to be a Gate when it's fully cast
Link 15: I was going to say Fire Snake, but now it looks more like Elemental Swarm
Link 16: Fire Shield (Cold)
Link 17: Mage Hand? Protective Penumbra? I don't know
Link 18: Could be Fire Shield (Cold) again.
Link 19: Shield might work. As would Floating Disk. But witches don't get either of those. Maybe Greater Scrying, since it doesn't take up material or focus components?
Link 20: Telekinesis
Link 21: Definitely Fire Snake
Link 22: Emergency Force Sphere
Link 23: Elemental Assessor
Link 24: Chill Touch
Link 25: Shadow Walk
Link 26: Freezing Sphere
Do you guys saying Link 21 is Fire Snake think that the woman depicted is really really big, or that the spell fire snake is some skinny little crap thing? I was assuming she was human sized and that Fire Snake would be big enough around to fill a 5x5x5 square, since, well, it does.
It just takes up that space, it doesn't mean that it's literally that big. As far as we know, it's just big enough to hit someone in a 5' square and move on.
