A few spells to request

Streamers (Originally from Shining South)
Evocation
Level: Cleric 5, Sor/Wiz 5
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 Standard
Range: 100ft (+10 per level)
Effect: 1 or more Streamers
Duration: 1 round per level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes

You cause a number of glowing, red stramers to shoot forth from your hand when you cast the spell. You may fire one streamer plus one additional streamer for every three caster levels beyond ninth level (to a maximum of four at level eighteen).

Each streamer targets one creature, multiple streamers can target a different creature each or they can all target one creature. A streamer moves on its own pursuing its target without your concentration, hovering in the same space as the target with a readied touch attack.

Whenever the target next takes any sort of action, the streamer makes a touch attack against it (at the casters base attack bonus). On a successful attack roll, the streamer deals 5d10 points of damage. If a target takes no actions for the duration of the spell, the streamers around it disappear with no effect.

Streamers can be attacked (AC20) but only magic weapons have any effect on them. Any successful attack destroys a streamer.

Venom Bolt (From Serpent Kingdoms)
Evocation (Acid)
Level: Cleric 4, Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 Standard Action
Range: 100ft
Area: 100ft Line
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Reflex Half, Fortitude Partial (see text)
Spell Resistance: Yes

You release a beam of fell energy from your eye, mouth, fingertip or tail tip that travels in a straight line. Every creature in its path takes 2d8 points of acid damage though the beam is not composed of any acidic substance. A successful reflex saves halves this damage.

Furthermore, every creature in the path of the venom bolt must also make a successful fortitude save or be paralyzed for 1d4+1 rounds. Success means that the subect is slowed for 1 round. Creatures do not block the beam, but walls or other solid barriers do.

Yaunti and their creations are immune to the effects of this spell. Other Scaled Ones are immune to the paralysis effect and need not save against it.

Saltray ( http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/fw/20040131a )
Evocation
Level: Drd 2, Sor/Wiz 2
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Short (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect: Ray
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Fortitude partial
Spell Resistance: Yes

This spell creates an instantaneous thin beam of salt crystals. A creature struck by a saltray takes 1d6 points of slashing damage per 2 caster levels (maximum 5d6) and must make a Fortitude save or be stunned by the excruciating pain of the wound for 1d4 rounds.

If this spell is cast within 300 feet of the shoreline of a large body of salt water, a second saltray is created. You can target this second saltray as you see fit against any target in range of the spell.

===

Then there is also the 'Heart of' line of spells from Complete Mage, and Energy Absorbtion all in Complete Mage.

Thanks for your time.

Source: Far Corners of the World on WOTC site

Splinterbolt
Evocation
Level: Druid 2, Sorcerer/Wizard 2
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect: One or more streams of splinters
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes

You cause a long, thin, sharp beam of splinters to lance out of your outstretched hand to strike a target in range. You must make a ranged attack (not a ranged touch attack) to hit the target; if you hit, the splinterbolt deals 4d6 points of piercing damage. The splinterbolt threatens a critical hit on an 18-20 and deals x3 damage on a successful critical hit.

You can fire one additional splinterbolt for every four levels beyond 3rd (to a maximum of three splinterbolts at 11th level). You can fire these splinterbolts at the same or different targets, but all splinterbolts must be aimed at targets within 30 feet of each other and fired simultaneously.

If you cast this spell in forested terrain, the splinterbolts are treated as cold iron magic weapons, and they deal an additional +4 points of damage on a hit.

Material Component: A splinter of wood.

Updated to reflect Kara's judgement

Frostfell
Transmutation Cold
Level: Druid 8, sorcerer/wizard 9
Components: V, S, M/DF
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Medium (100 ft. 10 ft./level)
Area: 20-ft. cube/level
Duration: 1 hour/level
Saving Throw: Fortitude partial;
see text
Spell Resistance: See text

The area you designate becomes a frigid and icy environment, immediately dropping the temperature by 3 temperature bands. For example, if the temperature is moderate, it drops to extreme cold (see page 9 Frostburn). If the new temperature is below the cold band, all water is turned to ice and all earth and stone becomes everfrost to a depth of 10 feet per caster level. Air within the area freezes, resulting in a heavy snowstorm lasting for the duration of the spell. Snow accumulates only if the ground temperature is below the moderate band.

Living creatures caught within the area when the spell is cast instantly turn to ice (as per the flesh to ice spell). If a creature successfully saves, frostfell deals 1d6 points of cold damage per caster level (maximum 20d6). Creatures entering the area after the spell has been cast do not take this damage; however, all creatures in the area are subject to the normal effects of cold, snow, and ice for the duration of the spell.

Objects in the area, including those held by creatures, are instantly covered in a thin layer of frost, making them slippery. When a creature uses a frosted item (a weapon, lockpicks, a potion, and so on), it must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity check or it drops
the item before it can be used.

Cold spells cast within the area gain a 1 caster level. Multiple frostfells may be cast in the same area to increase the effects (dropping the temperature by an additional 3 bands) but not stacking the increase in caster level. The temperature band cannot be dropped below unearthly cold, no matter how many times frostfell has been cast.

Arcane Material Component: A pinch of dust and a few drops of water.

The spell will be approved but with the following changes:
- The spell will not grant a stackable buff to caster level.
- The spell will deal regular cold damage on a failed save and not frostburn damage.

Sounds fine, so long as it can still lower temperature bands and increases the CL by +1 the first time it seems fair.
