Here's an alphabetical list of all the spells available in OD&D volume I Men & Magic.  I've been thinking about using a hacked OD&D for my A Surfeit of Lampreys campaign concept, so I wanted to tackle the magic system.  ACL = Anti-CLeric, by the way.

That's 107 spells in total, which seems to me like enough for most trouble-making PCs.

Conjure Elemental is an interesting case to me, as one spell conjures any one of all four elements (though no more than one each per day).  This contrasts with the "Wall of" spells, which require a spell for each element.  And now that I'm thinking along these lines I suddenly realize that Fire/Ice/Iron/Stone might make a sufficiently crazy alternative to Fire/Water/Air/Earth.

Stone-Flesh and Transmute Rock-Mud are also intriguing, as they are not reversible in the way that Light or the various Cure spells are, but the spell descriptions note that if you have the spell memorized you can say the incantation in reverse to undo a previously cast spell of the same type.  So Stone-Flesh can't be used to turn a rock into a rather unsettling meal, but maybe it can be used to help your buddy who looked the medusa in the eye.

I'm adding at least one spell to this list, a Turn Undead spell.  I'm ditching clerics but want to keep the ability.
