Spell Suggestions: More Power Words

Power words can be much fun. I've been playing NWN2 lately, and there's quite a few more implemented in there than with NWN1. They work great with avasculate (cleave health basically). It'd be great for more divination school spells as well. Not too much love for the divination themed caster as is.

Some of the new power word spell suggestions as they're implemented in NWN2's 3.5 ruleset:

Power Word Maladroit
Spell level : Innate level: 3, Sorcerer/Wizard: 3

Description:
You utter a single word of power that instantly causes one creature of your choice to become clumsier, dealing 2 points of damage to its Dexterity, whether the creature can hear the word or not. The specific effect and duration of the spell depend on the target's current hit point total, as shown below. Any creature that currently has 75 or more hit points is unaffected by Power Word Maladroit.
