PI= Pain Inverter
SF= Searing flames
MB + RI = Mind blast + rodgorts
MoR= mark of rodgort
SoA= Shield of absorption
HB= healer's boon SoL= Seed of Life
SY + TNTF= Save yourselves and there's nothing to fear!
SoJ= Signet of judgment OR Shield of judgement
DSlash= dragon slash
Ao(M,B,L,D)= Avatar of...
VoS= Vow of Strength OR silence

Those are just a few i can remember off the top of my head
