Cast it on a stick to make it into another, different sort of stick.

I'm gonna go ahead and say no. I'm way too fond of my consumables. I'd actually like to just get rid of sticky flame. >_>

Sticky Ice
This ice spell allows the caster to produce a pillar of ice, If you lick it you'll stick.

ok, new spells:

Stick and Twisted:
you use magic to twist your ammunition. Since it will now spin when fired, it gets an accuracy and range increase.

That's Just Stick!:
you cause yourself to appear to enemies as nothing but a useless stick. Enemies ignore you and wander randomly until the spell collapses or you attack.

Stick and Tired of You:
turns an enemy into a stick. When it returns to normal, it falls asleep.

More serious note, a monster spell that made a 3-wide ice wall directly behind you would be freaking cool. Mind numbingly painful, especially in corridors, but cool.

One of my favorite powers in the MMO Champions Online was Ice Wall with the advantage that instead of forming in front of you, it would form behind you as you move. This would be a really flavorful spell in DCSS, i think. You cast it, and for some number of turns, a block of ice has some chance to appear in the tile you just moved from (that exists for some other number of aut). All three variables could be improved by ice magic skill (so you get more blocked tiles that last longer, over a longer amount of time).

Back in CO, you could do that with super speed and just pepper the arena with random chunks of ice wall.

Well this is silly but snakes to sticks would be a good spell. You fire the stiff anaconda at the kobold. You fire the adder at the kobold. The kobold is poisoned!

Xom actually does this, but it just turns snakes into q. staffs and the like, I had a good chuckle when I saw it the first time. This is an interesting take on the same idea though.

Actually something that let you "throw" your summons at enemies wouldn't be entirely terrible. A spell that blinked summons closer to enemies... There's already some overlap with the spell recall between summonings and t.loc, and I think some of the coding is already there thanks to that (relatively) new guardian serpent gimmick
