The following is a compilation of many different effect numbers I tested in spell modding. While there are a few redundant ones and many that just don't work, there are also quite a few gems such as a self-buff spell with variable effects, Charm, a spell that teleports its targets back to the captitol, and a 'Call Horror'-esque summon. If you want to help by giving me your finds on an effect number or going back to re-examine an italicized one, I would greatly appreciate it. You'll be given credit where credit is due.

Legend:
Bold text: Has a noticable, usable effect.
Italic text: In an ideal world, I'd perform more experiments with this spell.
Text marked by a smiley: Special thanks to someone.
If there's a smiley-marked but not bold effect, It means I find differently from the contributor.

Combat Spells-
The following, at least mine, were cast using the following code. This is confirmed to work for summoning spells, attack spells, and self-targeting spells.
#newspell #name "Battle Test" #descr "Unknown Effect" #school 3 #effect x #researchlevel 0 #path 0 2 #pathlevel 0 1 #damage 59 #explspr 10001 #nreff 3 #fatiguecost 10 #flightspr 10001 #aoe 1 #range 80 #precision 5 #sound 29 #end

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gifEffect 1: Fire and Summon. Creates a series of projectiles equal to the nratt attribute. Where the projectiles hit, (Never more than a square or two from the caster) a monster specified by the damage attribute appears. Thanks to Johan K. Some find this is a simple summoning spell, without the units first 'firing'.
Effect 4: Bestow Cowardice. Targets have their morale decreased. It may be possible to achieve different attribute changes by changing the damage.
Effect 5-6: Effect unclear. Pretender refuses to cast.
Effect 7-8: Poison. A normal attack spell, though it deals poison damage.
Effect 9: Effect unclear. Pretender refuses to cast.
Effect 10: Sabotage Allies. Gives allies a weakness to fire. Effect likely to change depending on damage attribute.
Effect 11: The Missing Stone Disease. Afflicts targets with Curse of Stones, the Diseased affliction, and the 'It feels like something is missing' affliction, which has no effect. The spell deals minimal damage, which suggests the spell's effect changes depending on the damage attribute.
Effect 12: Effect unclear. Pretender refuses to cast.
Effect 13: Heal. Heals allied targets by an amount equal to damage.
Effect 14: Effect unclear. Pretender refuses to cast.
Effect 15: Vanishment. Targets vanish, recieving no damage, nor the traditional dying 'blood spurt'. After a few turns of vanishing foes my Pretender cast it on himself for some reason, causing my side to rout. He appeared at my home province, and the battle report read no kills. The pretender in question was not Immortal.
Effect 16: Effect unclear. Pretender refuses to cast.
Effect 17: Rally Wusses. Increases the morale of targetted allies. It may be possible to achieve different attribute changes by changing the damage.
Effect 18-19: Effect unclear. Pretender refuses to cast.
Effect 20: Vanishment. Targets vanish, recieving no damage, nor the traditional dying 'blood spurt'.
Effect 21-22: Fire and Summon. Creates a series of projectiles equal to the nratt attribute. Where the projectiles hit, (Never more than a square or two from the caster) a monster specified by the damage attribute appears.
Effect 23: Clover Covering. Grants the caster Twist Fate and Mossbody, and makes him take double-damage from poison. It is quite likely the effects given depend on the damage attribute.
Effect 24: Damage. Standard attack spell.
Effect 25-27: Effect unclear. Pretender refuses to cast.
Effect 28: Enslave Mind. Targets are converted to the caster's side. They lose their commander status, if any, and can be assigned to other units like a militia.
Effect 29: Charm. Targets are converted to the caster's side. If they were commanders or mages, they retain the ability.
Effect 30: Effect unclear. Pretender refuses to cast.
Effect 31: Summon Target Practice. Units are summoned. These units will likely attack the caster, but whatever is closer will do. Think 'Call Horror'.
Effect 32-36: Effect unclear. Pretender refuses to cast.
Effect 101: Effect unclear. Pretender refuses to cast.

Rituals-
The following, at least mine, were cast using the following code.
#newspell #name "Ritual Test" #descr "Unknown Effect" #school 3 #effect x #researchlevel 0 #path 0 2 #pathlevel 0 1 #damage 5 #nreff 3 #fatiguecost 100 #end

Update History
v1.00: Started mod. Added combat effects up to 36 and ritual effects up to 10010.
v1.01: Went back through the combat spells with allies, revealing a couple of new effects.
v1.10: Recieved and added a huge contribution from rrongol.

To-do list:
It's likely some of the remaining 'Effect unclear' combat spells need to be used on the undead, demons, or magical beings. Test spells with undead/demonic/magical allies/enemies.

Enjoy, I hope you found the effect you wanted.

Thanks for your effort UinspiredName. These kinds of lists come in handy when one leasts expects it. Kudos for the easy-to-search title on the thread.

First Update: Went back through the first 36 (and 101) combat spells, this time with allies. Uncovered spells that allow you to alter the stats of both allies and enemies, one that gives allies special attributes (like 23, except for allies instead of yourself), as well as a healing spell.

SoaviFox has already done similar work. She has detailed different things, as seen in HERE (http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/threads/showthreaded.php?Number=477135).

rrongol: Geez, what a gold mine! Thanks much, I couldn't find any rituals!

Endoperez/SoaviFox: Huh, I didn't notice that... Is there any sign it's still being updated?
