Paralysis would be better for the lightning effect, and would put the stat to use. (Paralyze) A character could be stunned every 10 seconds or so out of the spellcloud, but not damaged. And if that's too much, electricity could just affect people in the same way that fire would, but they would have to be wearing metal stuff like weapons, armor, etc.

The 'Slow' attribute. Really should've been implemented by now, but hasn't really. I think that dievels have been able to for some time now, but people can't really do it to each other a lot.
Also, it'd be nice to see stuff this:
Confusion: Where a player would hit themselves when attacking or casting a spell with the effect still on. Casting a spell would create a big explosion where the character is standing that would damage them. But that effect would depend on how much resist they have.
Blind: The player's screen gets shrouded in a dark fog coming in from the edges. It would be clientside, rather than serverside. Also, lowered spell and attack accuracy could be another option. It's better than 'drastically lower AC / WC'
Acid: Acid affects the brain, so why not make it affect Mana? XD But seriously... The acid effect could continually drain the Mana of the person affected, unlike the spell magic drain, which drains it only once.
Fear: Weaken the enemy's AC / WC by a small amount.
Turn Undead: Changes the character to undead status, giving them all the horrible natural diseases you can get, such ad spitting out teeth, diarrhea, etc. But nothing like typhoid or anthrax.
Ghosthit: Reverses directional controls, perhaps? Maybe it drains mana? Your guess is as good as mine. We don't really have anything at all that uses ghosthit.
Drain: Continual miniscule drain on HP.
Fire / Ice: The ideas for those are fine. Perhaps fire could burn longer on people wearing wooden stuff, and ice could for organics.
Just some of my thoughts.
