For what it's worth, I side with Derakon on Banishment (the spell at issue here is Banishment, not Mass Banishment--the one where you eliminate a monster symbol, formerly known as "genocide"). Leave it alone. Mages are weak enough and others don't get unlimited banishment except if they have Celeborn--thus its limited availability is already a balancing factor.
As for branding language:
I like:
Flame:
STRONG: Scorch, Incinerate, Immolate, Burn
WEAK: Singe, Braise, Char
Frost:
STRONG: Freeze
WEAK: Chill
Lightning:
STRONG: Electrocute
WEAK: shock, zap
Venom:
STRONG: Poison
WEAK: Sicken, toxify, blight
Acid:
STRONG: Blister, Burn (if we decide to go with a different word for flame)
WEAK: corrode, scathe
I also propose better language for *slay* vs slay for dragon and demon (don't like "fiercely smite" much)
*SLAY*: Wallop, Lambaste, Smash
slay: smite
Taking this further, one could also extend specific words to weapon types:
Blunt: Strike, Hit, bash
Slashing swords: Slash
Scythes: slice
puncturing weapons: Impale, pierce
But this would be harder and there are combo type weapons like Halberds...
