I've red them, I like them all, but there are a few that should not be evocations, and a few other comments:
The 'Avatar' spells should be transmutations.
The 'Eye' spells should be conjurations.
The 'Ray of Light' should be either a transmutation or abjuration spell, probably the former.
'Living Flame' should probably be a conjuration due to it's likeness with a summoned creature.
'Zealous Martyr' should be a transmutation.
'Snakefire' should be a conjuration.
'Sun orb' should be a transmutation.
'Sword of Morning's Might' should be a transmutation.
The 'Icemaiden' spells should be on the druid spell-list, but not the sor/wiz.
The 'Blazing sky' is way to powerful for a non-epic spell. But I still think it rocks
'Volcanic Fury' Damage to high, should be 20d10 at most.
Later, and they all rock!

Just a sample of how my skills are appreciated elsewhere
Good spells on top of that, I especially like Xarian's spells. ChaosDragon has good ideas, but the descriptions are sometimes slightly odd, but I like them myself. Anyways, going to Roskilde Festival?

The 'Avatar' spells should be transmutations.
Wel, I based them on several facts. For example, the Avatar of Fire is almost similar to a Fire Shield (which is Evocation). Even though it has more effects than
The 'Eye' spells should be conjurations.
Well, the Burning Eye perhaps, but Assassins Eye and Blazing Eye are both simply controlled "fireballs". Still, it is true... see how hard it is creating Evocation spells that are the least bit alternative?
The 'Ray of Light' should be either a transmutation or abjuration spell, probably the former.
That might be true. I was basing the spell on the fact, that all Light related spells otherwise are Evocation spells, including Daylight and such.
'Living Flame' should probably be a conjuration due to it's likeness with a summoned creature.
True, True. Again, based merely on the fact that It was Fire spell. Darn its hard making Evocations... cant make any kind of intelligent effects if you want to be true to the system...
'Zealous Martyr' should be a transmutation.
Ahhhh... hmmm.... it deals damage that the target can negate by performing special actions... dont know... hmmm..
'Snakefire' should be a conjuration.
That is very true...
'Sun orb' should be a transmutation.
Based on the same reasoning used behind Ray of Light
'Sword of Morning's Might' should be a transmutation.
Again, referring to Light spells, taking into account that Flame Blade was an Evocation O_O
The 'Icemaiden' spells should be on the druid spell-list, but not the sor/wiz.
How about Druid & Cleric both? Would that be fair?
The 'Blazing sky' is way to powerful for a non-epic spell. But I still think it rocks
3000 XP cost? Thats... alot.... perhaps if it had a costly material component as well perhaps?
'Volcanic Fury' Damage to high, should be 20d10 at most.
Well, it has many hindrances... it takes as much as 10 rounds before it hits, there is a 1 round warning before it hits, it has an XP cost.... it would be a bad spell if the damage was low..
Later, and they all rock!
THANKS

No, I didn't finish the Ioun document, I keep getting distracted (Working on a new Campaign setting with one of my friends at the moment...)
Anyways, regarding the spells, again:
Avatar spells: They change the properties of the caster by granting new abilities that can not be explained with a simple wall effect such as fire shield. They grant damage reduction among other things, thus Transmutations.
Eye Spells: As the caster can controll their flightpattern by concentrating instead of them simply being 'fire and forget' spells, as well as the additional abilities one can grant the more powerful variants, they should be conjurations.
'Ray of light' should be a transmutation spell on account of changing the properties of an area over a long time. Also, not all light spells are evocations. Continual Flame for example is an illusion, as is Faerie Fire.
'Zealous Marty' should be a transmutation because it changes the properties of the target, much like a Polymorph spell would.
'Sun Orb' should be a transmutation because the spell changes the properties of a vessel (the orb) to cause it to radiate light such as that produced by a sun.
'Sword of Mornings Might' should be a transmutation for the same reasons as the Sun Orb, it changes the properties of an allready existing object.
Ice Maiden Spells: I mean't druid as a replacement for sor/wiz. Making it available to druids and clerics.
'Blazing Sky', it's not the low cost, but rather the sheer power of the spell, as well as it's long duration and the area of effect. Although it will only deal 15d6 points of damage on a whole, the secondary effect makes it to powerfull for even a 9th level spell.
Volcanic Fury: Well, since you put it that way, I thing I could conced up to 25d10, which still is very, very high, and a lot higher than a meteor swarm can do (24d6)

Later,
Avatar spells: I could agree with you. If you have Masters of the Wild, look at the Avatar of Nature spell, grants a Attack/Damage bonus and a Haste effect and it is an Evocation spell.
Eye Spells: I agree. I think the Blazing Eye could be Evocation, but Assassins Eye and Burning Eye are more Conjuration than anything else.
Ice Maiden: Ill probably make em Clr/Drd instead, fits em better.
Volcanic Fury: So, 25d10 and 50d10 for direct impact? After all, to hit with the direct Impact, the target has to have been paralysed or held for it to have a chance of hitting.
Edit: And get the Iouns done, I need them direly!
