After participating in the create-a-character and create-a-monster post-game threads, I thought it would be fun to collaboratively create a new spell. I had hoped to create a thread with multiple polls, one for each spell attribute, but apparently the enworld forums don't support this.
Each poster can define one attribute (and change dependent attributes that are affected by the new attribute's value, such as Saves), using a standard value for that attribute chosen from existing spells in the Core Rules. This restriction is to prevent people making up new, vastly unbalanced features.
Each poster must wait for another poster to define another attribute before they go again. Please avoid choosing a name or level for this spell until all other attributes have been filled. A name or level depend remaining attributes! Have I forgotten any interesting spell attributes or choices below?
d20srd.org has a nice summary of the spell description choices: http://d20srd.org/srd/magicOverview/spellDescriptions.htm
