This spell causes a stream of pressurized water to project from the casters hand towards a single target. The impact of the blast deals 1d6 damage per two caster levels (max 5d6), and subjects the target to a bull rush. The stream is treated as having a strength of 18+caster level and being Large size for this purpose. Additionally each round you maintain the spell, the target must make a Reflex save or unable to take any actions apart from defense, due to water splashing into the targets eyes, nose, and mouth. Aquatic creatures are not affected by this aspect of the spell.

Sorry, thats just too many spells to critique. My suggestion would be to look through your books and compare. Ask yourself if there is any reason to NOT take it, there should be very few spells like that and they should all mostly be in the phb (mm, shield, fireball, etc). Michael Morris has created over 200 spells for his Dusk campaign, check out what he's done, its hosted on ENworld.

Finally you can run some mock playtests. Set up a reasonable challenge for some PCs with your new spells, see how quickly the encounters end.

Some things can be eyeballed (damage caps on spells, simple comparison to existing spells) but other things can only be evaluated with testing. I think for instance, testing your mystic spells that are extremely effective against undead is a good idea. Run some playtest "iconic" PCs that would appear in your campaign against some undead groups. Then run the same ones against other things that the spell wouldn't affect. Rinse and Repeat.

A lot of balancing is trial and error and when I do critique someone's work I try to do a little. I think I've helped you get on track with juggling numbers a little better, but I can't help you with a whole spellbook. If there is a particular spell you are going back and forth on, I'll give it a look.

Good Luck,

Technik

I've never really gotten the whole reason not to take something deal as most people present it. Theirs plenty of stuff, in the PHB, thats good enough to take without a second thought. However, I always give things second thoughts for roleplaying and character concept reasons if nothing else.
Now I understand the deal of not wanting a spell to totaly outshine all others of its level...like the current Haste for instance. I think I've managed to avoid that.
I also totaly disagree with the implication that all good spells should be in the PHB. The spells in the PHB are, of course, DnD icons...but that has nothing to do with balance. theres some legacy DnD spells that kind of suck as well.
Anywho if you would take a closer look at the elemental spells just to see if I've missed anything glaring I'd apreciate it. I mean the 3 of Earth Water and Air mainly. I think their ok but a second opnion never hurts.
