I like them overall. Comparing them to scorching ray (a sorc 2nd level spell) I would say none of their effects are out of line.

I think the acid one could probably be jived a bit, maybe 2d6 per round extra or something. Or you could go for a fort save or be nauseated, which is what the acid orb series from tome and blood does.

I think the fire one should be changed. Fatigued doesn't really make any sense. How about a reflex save or they catch on fire? I know the reflex save would be out of sorts with the other javelins, but frankly the fatigue thing just doesn't doesn't seem right.
