i say that Weird be added to this game and the animation should be a gigantic broccoli stalk!
hehe
but on a more serious note are we going to see more spells in the future?

Regardless of broccoli, Weird would be a good addition to DDO, that fits in easily with other spells. Even though mages already have a level 9 mass save or die, it can be sufficiently different:
Wail of the Banshee: Enemies near you must make a fort save or die. Death-immunity blocks it.
Weird: Enemies near a targeted point die if they fail will and fort saves. Immunity to death or fear blocks it.
So having Weird gives the caster the option to mass-kill monsters at a distance, without needing to get them crowded around him. But it's balanced because the saving throw is easier to pass.
Are you suggesting Weird be like Horrid Wilting type targeting or like Charm Monster, Mass where you actually have to select a target? Just because Im in favor of the former, but if it must act like Phantasmal Killer then I wouldn't be terribly heartbroken if you had to select a foe to use it.
