Agreed. Not sure if it'd work, but I love the idea.
Not sure if something like this has been done already, but I like the idea.

Dressed by the Storm
Muto Corpus, level 55
R: Per, D: Conc, T: Ind
Req: Auram
Your body turns into lightning, while keeping a vaguely human form, for as long as you concentrate. While in this form, you're extremely hazardous. Anything that comes into contact with your body will be as if struck by lightning (+30 damage) and you're blindingly bright (Stamina stress roll of 9+ to avoid temporary blindness. Botching means permanent blindness). In fact, you're also blindingly fast, being able to relocate yourself instantly anywhere you can see in straight lines (Perception + Finesse stress roll of 9+ to "land" safely if trying to move further than about 50 paces. A botch means that you missed the intended destination, probably causing harm to yourself or your surroundings, and automatically failing to maintain the spell. A failed roll means disorientation - make a Concentration roll of 9+ to maintain the spell, with a botch meaning adverse effects like motion sickness). Any successful relocation will also produce a booming thunderclap (Same roll as for blindness, in this case to avoid deafness and/or being blown away by the shockwave).
While in this form, you aren't solid - actually, you aren't liquid, not even gaseous, however, lightning is too chaotic for delicate actions such as slithering through small openings (it would be like threading a needle in an earthquake). Of course, you can't really hold anything, being immaterial, immune to other sources of lightning, and there is the strange risk of conductivity. Coming into contact with enough metal or water will "discharge" your body, making it extremely difficult to keep your form (make a concentration roll of 15+ to maintain the spell. A botch means a very spectacular accident related to conductivity, like actually losing body mass, or finding parts of your body fused with metal objects or liquefied in a body of water). However, as long as you manage to maintain the spell while touching such things, you'll shock anything else in contact with them.
Finally, lightning is weightless (or so it seems), so you're not really bound by gravity, but the chaotic nature of this spell makes flight extremely dangerous... as extremely fast as it could be.
(Base 30, +1 Conc, +4 Auram effect wholly divorced from its normal context)
...
So basically it's a spell that turns you into a living Incantation of Lightning. I tried to make it as flashy and chaotic as it sounds, without being too annoying or meticulous with the effects. Basically you become immaterial, explosively noisy and shiny, zap the hell of anything stupid enough to directly touch you, and you can "quasi-teleport" around, but touching anything conductive will break havoc with the spell (or let you zap a whole beach full of people). You can also fly, if you're reckless enough to risk losing control of the spell while in the stratosphere, or if you really are in a hell of a hurry.
Basically, this spell has room for VERY spectacular effects... Both good and bad. I wanted it to be a very appealing eye candy full of traps, and let Darwin sort'em out, lol.
I used the Creo Auram guidelines for very unnatural weather effects since I felt that turning into human-shaped lightning should be way harder than turning into mist.
The level automatically makes this a ritual spell (see ArM5 p.114).
Oh crap. I'm too used to enchanting.
Well, I simply added lazily the guidelines for very unnatural weather events for Creo Auram to the Muto Corpus ones, but I could argue then that since MuCo spell guidelines already take the difficulty of turning into something made of air in account, lowering it to level 50 should be allowable.
Unless the spell effect seems too hardcore for formulaic.

Hi guys, I don't know if you take request here, but I try 
I recently made a Flambeau Magus, with the impossibility to combine Creo + Ignem (at first i thunk it would be fun...), so he is mostly Rego Ignem but i have hard time to find an aggressive spell with this combination.
Have you a spell like this in mind or create ? Something that can replace ball of abyssal flames or pilum of fire. His second form is Corpus, so a ReIgCo is also possible. Hope i don't ask too much, and sorry for my english.
I believe that it will take as long time for a raindropp transmuted to an elephant to fall down on your head as it takes for me to hurl a ball of abyssmal flame 200 meters if using formlaic flexible magic and enhancing the range 1 step.
Curse of the solar retribution
MuCo Lvl 15
R: Touch D: Sun T: Ind
The curse of solar retribution makes the targets skin vulnerable to sunlight for the duration of the effect. The target receives for each beginning hour exposed to direct sunlight, +5 damage, when only face and hands are exposed, +10 damage for the whole naked body. The target receives no damage, if being in the shadow or during night or by protecting the skin with salt water.
I don't know whether this is still relevant, but a Perdo Ignem magus with Winter's Icy Touch and Winter's Icy Grip should be your solution. If your maga was good at throwing things at targets, she could prepare a stash of grenades with Trapping the Fire (MuIg/Te). For Rego Ignem a variation of Leap of the Fire while carrying a torch might be useful. Here's an attempt:
Launching the Firy Grenade
Muto Ignem 30
R:Voice D: Dia T: Part
Req.: Re, Co
The fire splits off a fist size chunk, which hits a specified target with a successful Targeting roll. The thrown fire is fueled by flesh and bone.
If you have several rounds, you can use multiple spells in conjunction:
Hell on Earth
Muto Ignem 20
R: Voice D: Dia T: Ind
Req.: Te
The targeted fire is fueled by earth.
Snake of Fire
Rego Ignem 10
R: Voice D: Conc T: Ind
While concentrating, the fire grows in the direction you want it to grow at roughly 10 paces per round. A Targeting roll is necessary if the fire has to follow a path precisely.
That's quite interesting because i had this idea but I didn't find a good way to put it into my charactere.
At the beginning i wanted to have a "preparation spell", to create "ammo". In that point of view the maga / magus could "throw" (or other) bullet, but in a limit number. I like the idea that you have to count or at least save your pool of aggressiv spell, because there is no unlimited action (a little bit like 1 bullet pirate's gun)
If you have other ideas in that way i take it. I think about maybe "fusion with fire" (ReIgCo) that you can "absorb" fire, (took like 5min in order to forbid that during a fight but way before), and maybe spit it after.
For trapping fire in ammo, any number of pebbles, chestnuts, hazelnuts, or other readily available small items should do just fine.
I'm devising a Imaginem spell to help my thief companion
[code]Level 10
Agony of the Incessant Pruritus
Creo Imáginem
Range: Voice
Duration: Diameter
Create a intense Itching feeling. The target must do a Concentration Roll difficult 12+.
Even if succeeded target got a -1 penalty for most actions and -3 for anything requiring concentration like giving a speech or casting a spell.
In case of failure multiply penalties to -3 and -9. In case of a botch target will drop anything and scratch insanely, if not constrained will bruise himself.[/code]
Maria of Merinita commonly uses this to distract guards, in her version the itching will be more intense just in the mostly intimacy places causing the target to scratch in the most grossly ways.
Her spells effects are likely to cause the most inconvenience possible
What does everyone think of this?
Orb of Earth’s Blood level 25
Creo Aquam (Igneam)
R:Sight
D:momentary
T:individual
Creates an orb of lava that is launched at an individual, dealing +15 damage.
Few notes - creating lava is CrTe (see Hermetic Projects p12), Base 5 CrTe is 1 cubic foot of lava, which flows very slowly, and inflicts +15 damage (I think thats on p14). Creating the lava on somebody should be easy, but the spell is CrTe 20 (base 5, +3 sight). Note for the Ignem specialists too that CrIg base 5 fire inflicts +10, vs CrTe base 5 lava inflicts +15, so lava is "better" for damage than fire.
A set of wolf related spells, discussed here by Badger101, Erik, and William.
Grimoire of the Wolf Pack: By Avicia of Bjornear
Precedent for this level of effect due to the base 4 used in the Doublet of Impenetrable Silk (Ars p.118) which grants +3 soak to clothing (dead animals) and the base 5 guideline in animal allows for living beasts. Updated the spell to use Base 5.
And a contended spell due to the "restriction" (see comments in discussion thread). Would otherwise be ReAn45.
with thread contributions
I did this for a character. Your list of wolf-related spells has reminded me about them:
Conjuring the Servant of the Shadow Pack Cr(Re)An30.
Range: Touch. Duration: Diameter. Target: Individual.
This spell conjures a mundane wolf that will fight under the command of the caster (requisite Rego) for the duration of the spell. If more than one wolf is conjured or if there are other suitable canids, they will fight as a trained group because they have all the virtues and qualities that normal wolves have (including Leadership 5 with a specialty on wolves). Note that for the wolf to be able to attack anybody with Parma Magica or other resistance, this spell needs to penetrate.
This spell is the signature spell of Mara, follower of Bjornaer, who always conjures a menacing black wolf.
(Base 15, +1 touch, +1 diameter +1 req Rego)
Gift of the Wolf’s Fortitude
MuAn 25. R: Per, D: Sun, T: Ind
Like Gift of Bear’s Fortitude but it only works on canines and the penalty for manipulation does not apply to them.
While the version of Mara, follower of Bjornaer, is in effect, the target recibes a mark, similar to a tattoo, of the head of a black wolf.
(Base 15, +2 sun)
The Language of Beasts
InAn20. R: Touch, D: Con, T: Ind
The caster is able to communicate with an animal that is touching as if they shared a common language. Note that most magi will impose the effects of the Gift to the animal, that consequently will resist an try to avoid touch.
The version of Mara, follower of Bjornaer, requires the caster to emit growls and howls to communicate, even if she is communicating with other kind of animals.
(Base 10 +1 conc +1 touch)
Rejuvenation of the Wolf Pack
CrAn30. R:Touch, D: Momentary, T: Circle. Ritual.
Similar in some ways, Soothe Pains of the Beast, this spell permanently heals up to a heavy wound from each animal (if the target does not have heavy wounds, it will heal a Medium wound instead, and if it does not have Medium wounds, it will heal a Light wound instead) inside the drawn circle. Note that the Magus will probably need some kind of another magic effect to keep all the animals inside the circle for the time necessary to cast the ritual.
Mara designed this spell to affect only canines in order to take advantage from her magical focus, although a version of this spell could be made to affect any animal with exactly the same level. Wounds healed by her spell will leave black scars for a week before fully healing.
(Base 25 +1 touch)
A Few Perdo Spells for social situations
Stupor of Lord Wooster
PeMe15
R: Eye, D: Sun, T: Ind
Inhibits the target's ability to integrate sensory information - they appear to be drunk.
Base 4, from HoH:S 66, +1 Eye, +2 Sun
Forgettable Conversation
PeMe15
R: Eye, D: Conc, T: Ind
The victim of the spells finds it difficult to create detailed episodic memories during the spell's duration. This was designed to be cast when meeting and conversing with strangers, so no concentration roll is required for simply holding a conversation, but other activities would require one. The victim won't be able to recall any specific details about the other party, nor provide any details of what they discussed. Without someone else drawing attention to this fact, the victim will not think anything more of it. The spell isn't suitable for long conversations as victims often forgot what they've already said, or begin the the conversation anew.
Base 4, from HoH:S 66, +1 Eye, +1 Conc, +1 Subtly
Clear Thinker's Brew
PeAq20
R: Touch, D: Mom, T: Ind
Destroy the alcoholic aspect of fluid you are drinking

Warning: there's a lot of wrongness in these, as appointed by callen below. I misinterpreted this topic and put some roleplay-focused spells, not effective or optimizes at all, and even (I found out) rule-breaking. I think it's healthy for the forum not deleting it, so I'll leave it here. Maybe someone likes the concept and make a better version.
Some spells of a Raven Heartbeast Bjornaer, with Minor Focus on Birds (maybe you would consider a major for the Form and Technique versatility, but the maga is a NPC of mine so I didn't worry about this).
AVIS CONJURA CrAn30
(yes, bad Latin, like a true Bjornaer [?])
R: Touch, D: Diam, T: Group
Create a group of up to 100 raven-sized birds (Size: -4) from the hand of the magus. The conjurer don't control the ravens only with this spell, but the birds act as commom birds.
(Base 10, +1 Diam, +2 Group, +1 Touch)
BIRTH OF THE HEARTBEAST CrAn20
R: Per, D: Sun, T: Ind
Conjure a single raven-sized bird (max. Size: -3), but it comes from inside the Bjornaer. The bird must match the exact type of the heartbeast of the magus, with little fashion differences. This spell, after successfully cast, causes extreme pain, and a Sta + Concentration roll vs Ease Factor of 15 must be made to keep concentration on anything else, which is very difficult. The "Imperturbable Casting" spell mastery option can add the Mastery Score to this roll.
Also, it causes +20 Animal Wound Damage to the caster, that can be soaked up with Sta + Heartbeast + Animal Form Bonus + Stress Die. Note that a wound caused this way can be used as an arcane connection to the bird.
(Base 10, +2 Sun)
Note: A ritual version with momentary duration is called True Birth of the Heartbeast, and it creates a permanent animal. It makes more sense to do it for the next spell, since the duration reduction will drop the spell level to exactly 20. A Rego requisite could be added to dictate the behavior of the animal at the moment of the cast, but the range would need to be increased to exert the control after it's "born", and even increase the base level. From this spell you can design another to cause someone else to give birth to this animal, but the original inventor did not get this way for religious purposes.
The concentration ease factor was calculated by the formula 3 + (3 x magnitude of the spell), and the Damage is equal to the level of the spell. Yes, it is an unnecessary cost of this spell, and it's all for the flavour: I find it cool for the character to scream in pain while giving birth to the "children" of his own Heartbeast, very dramatic for some scenes, and this have a religious touch with a lot of meaning in being a true part of the nature, expressing what life and vitality means.
BIRTH OF THE HEARTBEAST'S FLOCK CrAn30
R: Per, D: Sun, T: Group
Conjure a group of up to 100 raven-sized birds (max. Size: -3), but it comes from inside the Bjornaer. The birds must match the exact type of the heartbeast of the magus, with little fashion differences. This spell, after successfully cast, causes extreme pain, and a Sta+Concentration roll vs Ease Factor of 21 must be made to keep concentration on anything else, which is almost impossible.
The "Imperturbable Casting" spell mastery option can add the Mastery Score to this roll (HoH: S).
Also, it causes +30 Animal Wound Damage to the caster, that can be soaked up with Sta + Heartbeast +Animal Form Bonus + Stress Die.
(Base 10, +2 Sun, +2 Group)
GROWTH OF THE WINGS MuAn10
R: Per, D: Sun, T: Ind
When in a bird heartbeast form, the Bjornaer can increase his size up to a average human (size 0). It's possible to go back to the normal size by rolling Sta + Heartbeast against an ease factor of 5 (3 + spell mag.).
Raven-sized birds are Size -4, so a +4 growth represents +8 to Str and -4 Qik. Max Str. is +4.
If cast again, it goes to the size of an auroch or bull (Size +3, Str +14, Qik -7). Max Str. +8.
(Base 4, +2 Sun)
Note: it was a result of the troupe concession - not even experimentation, but, by the rules, the guideline allows for a +1 size increase only, as Itzhak says below.
THE HUNTING HAWK CrAn30
R: Sight, D: Conc, T: Ind Requisite: Rego
Creates a raven ou hawk-sized bird to search an area. The magus may concentrate to guide the bird, and it lasts only while the magus can see the conjured bird. The caster can make a Perception roll with a +6 bonus to determine if something is found by the bird. Whet it succeeds, a sign is given by the animal, like a howl or set movement defined at casting moment.
(Base 10, +1 Conc, +3 Sight, requisite is free due to experimentation)
RAVEN MASTER ReAn40
R: Voice, D: Conc, T: Group
Completely control a group of up to 100 raven-size birds.
(Base 15, +1 Conc, +2 Group, +2 Voice)
RAVEN'S NEW FEATHERS CrAn30
R: Per, D: Moon, T: Ind Spell
Give the caster a +18 bonus to Recovery rolls. This spell must be cast in the Raven Heartbeast form, but it takes effect in human form as well, but it only works in recovery of wounds taken in the Heartbeast form. It is ineffective against poison and disease.
(Base 15, +3 Moon, no Corpus requisite due to experimentation)
Note: there are versions of this spell for other Heartbeasts.
TOUCH OF THE RAVEN HEARTBEAST MuCo35
R: Touch, D: Sun, T: Ind Requisite: Animal
Turn a willing target into a raven for the duration. The target can end the spell at will. Equipment don't transform with the target, but talismans do. This spell only works if the caster's Heartbeast is a raven. There are other versions of this spell for other bird-like heartbeasts.
(Base 20, +2 Sun, +1 Touch)
VOICE OF THE BIRDS InAn25
R: Voice, D: Conc, T: Ind Spell
Speak with a bird, also allows to see trough the eyes of a bird the caster previously counjured, within range.
(Base 10, +1 Conc, +2 Voice)
