For spells that render monsters and characters helpless, I removed the  burst ability and gave the targets many chances to save versus helpless. Here are some sample powers. If these target-helpless powers are still too powerful for at-will we could always make the helpless effect last only one round. For example, a charmed character attacks his or her own party for 1 round and then the charm is broken.Light Upevocation/class lvl 1/You outline one foe in an aura of  light even if invisible. The foe takes a Stealth -10 penalty./int vs  int/reroll to maintain/As a free action, you create an adjustable radius  of light for the party.  Fire Ballevocation/class lvl 1/ranged 20/int vs dex/You shoot a  fire ball doing int mod+1d6 fire damage+ongoing 3 damage./target's con  vs your int ends/2 targets at 5th, 3 targets 10th lvl  Burning Handevocation/class lvl 2/at-will/int vs ac/You strike  with your fire aura staff, dagger or wand doing 1[w]+int mod+1d6 fire  damage+ongoing 3 damage./target's con vs your int ends  Explosive Runeevocation/class lvl 3/ranged 20 burst 1/int vs  dex/You send a steel ball with a fire rune scroll on it that explodes  and does int mod+2 fire damage+ongoing 3 damage./target's con vs your  int ends  Combust Foeevocation/class lvl 4/ranged 20/int vs int/You cause  1 foe int mod+1d6 fire damage+ongoing 3 damage./target's con vs your  int endsTurn Alignmentenchantment/class lvl 1/encounter x1/ranged line  of sight burst 2/cha vs wis/You cause foes of opposing alignments to  have the frightened condition and try to get out of your line of sight.  Little Danceenchantment/class lvl 2/ranged line of sight/cha vs wis/You force your enemy to laugh and or dance wasting their next turn.  Cause Sleepenchantment/class lvl 3/ranged line of sight/cha vs  wis/The sleeping foe wakes and ends the effect from an ally's standard  action slap or 1 enemy's automatic hit and damage.  Hold Foeenchantment/class lvl 4/ranged line of sight/cha vs  wis/You bind your enemy who can not move and takes an automatic hit and  normal damage.
