I asked about spell/prayer counters a couple months ago and it seems GW has a set of plastic counters.
But now that I finally have some free time, I'm thinking of making my own. They're going to be 3D things, probably mounted on 40K style round bases. I'm going to write the spell name along the bottom of the base, but I want some form of mini caricature of the spell to show at a glance what it is. The idea is that they can be placed next to the appropriate model/unit so i don't forget about effects.
I only have ideas for a few of them, so I'm looking for input on what symbols to use. Here's what I have in mind, if anyone has any ideas for the blank ones or has better ideas for any of the other, please let me know.

Flaming sword of Rhuin -- obviously a flaming sword, but not sure whether to have it just floating in space in hitting something or ?
