O.K. YOU TWO, COME FORWARD WITH YOUR HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM, IDENTIFY YOURSELVES!
Anyways, what do you need the Iouns for? And when will you comment on the spells I sent you?

Clay: Bugger indeed.
Mr.Raets: For the future of your well being I must tell you this, any attempt to pass the iouns off as your own will cause you to be the target of a Greater Curse, your skin will fall from your flesh, your flesh will rot, and your bones will start to crumble. Your blood will clot, your bile will fester, and flies will lay their eggs in your eyes.
Now, nothing prevents you from using the iouns in your campaign, but they belong to *ME!*

Now, who was the second downloader?

Hey, read through the spells and here's what I found so far.
Jaerrak's Burning Ray
Should be Evocation, in my opinion, since it doesn't create any temporary or permanent effect.
Spark
Too little damage, compared to Magic Missile (Think, that Magic Missile causes Force Damage, which is the best of the standard forms of damage).
Steal Strength
I would say it would be a 2 nd. level spell. And it might be valuable to mention what kind of bonus it grants and if it is stackable with itself (If you can get +2 to str/con/dex).
Tree Curse
Really cool spell, good description as well. Aren't Outsiders normally immune to Polymorph spells or am I mistaken?
Weakness
I am sorry, but where is the difference between Ray of Enfeeblement?
When I saw Heat Ray, I just wanted to make a warning. Dont do like Law (he makes 5 versions of the exactly same spell, all with similar function, yet each version with various forms of elemental damage). Thats what Energy Substitution is there for.

Hey, read the Iouns, they friggin rock.
You should expand on that list (I see one of my Iouns was already on your list when I made it, the +4 Poison save Ioun. I think 8000 gp. is a very good idea, since I saw a feat that grants +4 to saves vs. Poison and one that gives +4 to saves vs. disease).
Even though my iouns are going in the book, feel free to add them if you like, at what ever pricing you see fit

I'm glad you like the iouns, I have plans on expanding the list eventually, But I'm mainly waiting for 3.5 to come around first... 
Anyways on to the spells:
Jaerrak's Burning Ray: I went with conjuration due to most ray spells that deal damage are conjurations. Additionally so are Melf's Acid Arrow and Flame Arrow. Additionally the way the spell is described lends to it being a conjuration. Besides, Evocation shouldn't have all the damage spells, that would just be unfair
Spark: I went with 1d4 points of damage/2 levels due to the spell also causing a Daze effect.
Steal Strength: Why second level, it is no more powerfull than Ray of Enfeeblement? Also the bonus is unnamed, and thus according to the rules presented in the DMG is stackable with itself.
Tree Curse: Outsiders are only immune to polymorph if the creatures description says it is.
Weakness: Well for one thing it lasts a whole lot longer additionally it requires a touch attack, and thirdly it is on both the druid, cleric, sorcerer, and wizard spell-lists.
Heat Ray: Was made before I had Tome and Blood, and besides, I have no intention of doing a Ray of electricity or anything like that. I just needed a new fire cantrip.
Thank you for your comments, please tell me what you think of the rest of the spells.

Wow, I count a total of eight big-tooth smileys... might as well add one myself
Jaerrak's Burning Ray: True, True, I didn't have my PhB for comparison, unfortunately.
Spark: I actually missed the Daze effect, would you believe.
Steal Strength: Here, I will actually enforce my choice on level. Yes, it drains 3 ability points in total (which is actually what would be drained in average by Ray of Enfeeblement... well 3.5 is actually the average for that, so its not that much below RoE).
But, it adds 3 ability points to an ability score (for a short time, but still). No other 1 st. level spell gives any bonus to an ability score, in my recollection.
Tree Curse: Didn't have the MM either, I just seemed to remember that Outsiders couldn't be polymorphed... or was that wrong? I presume you didn't mention Shapechangers since you are upgrading to 3.5? And I still think its a very cool spell, Ill start casting Dispel Magic on every tree I come across now
Weakness: Well, true. I just normally stay clear of making too similar spells, unless there is a real gap in spell level. Off course, im neurotically nervous of being called a rip-off, since I have to publish them
Heat Ray: I made a few spells for own use that were slightly altered spells, especially for the lower levels. Now I prefer using Energy Substitution. Did you see Law's Spells?
Anyways, I couldn't really find anything on most of them. They follow the DMG guidelines for damage cap and so forth, and many of the evocations are pretty straight-forward.
