As an example of how truly nasty attack spells, even relatively 'low-level' ones, can be, here are a couple of cool ones:

Ice Storm

A 20' radius area of hailstorm that rages for 10 seconds and does 3d cr + 2 burn (cold) to anyone caught within the area. Hearing and Vision in the area are at -2 and movement is at half speed, with combat penalties as for bad footing.

Innate Attack 3d cr [Area of Effect 6 yds (+125%), Increased Range x20 1/2D and x2 Max (+25%), Link (+10%), Overhead (+30%), Persistent (+40%), Blockable (-5%), Costs Fatigue 12 (-60%), Magical (-10%), Requires Words (-10%), Requires IQ Roll (-5%), Requires Gestures (-10%), Takes Extra Time 2 (-20%)] 33 points.
+ Follow-Up (+0%) Innate Attack 2d burn (cold) {Magical -10%)] 9 points.
+Obscure 2 (Hearing) [Area of Effect 6 yds (+75%), Link (+10%), Ranged (+50%), Magical (-10%), Requires Gestures (-10%), Requires IQ Roll (-5%), Requires Words (-10%). 8 points.
+Obscure 2 (Vision) [Area of Effect 6 yds (+75%), Extended (Infravision) (+20%), Link (+10%), Ranged (+50%), Magical (-10%), Requires Gestures (-10%), Requires IQ Roll (-5%), Requires Words (-10%). 9 points.
Special Effects: Perk Treacherous footing (+1 cost of movement) in the area while spell lasts; Perk Bad Footing (combat penalties) in the area while spell lasts. 2 points.
Total 62 points.

Cone of Cold
Magery 5 version.

A 20 yds long cone that is 20 yds wide at the terminus and does 10d burn (cold) damage to anyone caught within it. Burn (cold) damage cannot set fires, but does reduce the temperature of things it damages, which may cause them damage from rapid changes in temperature if they are subsequently hit with heat attacks.

Innate Attack 10d burn (cold) [Cone 20 yds (+250%), Increased 1/2D Range (+5%), Cost FP 20 (-100%), Magical (-10%), Reduced Max Range /5 (-10%), Requires Gestures (-10%), Requires IQ Roll (-5%), Requires Words (-10%), Takes Extra Time 3 (-30%)]
Total Cost 90.

5d/second for 10 seconds seems a lot nastier than the original 4th level spell Ice Storm. If I recall, it was a bit underwhelming for damage- the advantage was that it did cold damage which was hard to get, and was a 4th level spell which did direct damage.

Well, Ice Storm did do 5d in D&D and the damage was even divided between bludgeoning and cold the way I do there.

That being said, I'm happy for the GURPS version being more useful than the D&D version, owing to GURPS mechanics making more sense. The fluff description of Ice Storm sounds bad-ass and it's no bad thing that the spell should come out bad-ass. I mean, you're paying a lot in points (either knowing the spell permanently or in Modular Ability: Cosmic that allows you to memorise it) and using 12 FP to cast it.
