Yeah, go ahead.Hmm, give me six hours returning from school and I'll see what I can do.
Loved it!Can I use this as some inspiration?

Perhaps the mold would be killed, good point.
I think the disks could be used for that but also for holdout options.
Escapes on those who don't have them naturally such as Dimension Door.
Wall of Force to give battlefield control options.
Emergency Force Sphere to protect yourself, or trap an enemy in with you.
Ranged options for those who don't have them naturally such as Hostile Juxtaposition on one of our non-casters or Telekinetic Charge to basically have pounce.
Roaming Pit to put someone in a hole because Ref saves always suck.
Drop Black Tentacles on yourself or even SMV.
No save is always preferred but the disk does use the creators CL etc.
A little unrelatedly Seamantle seems an interesting option if we could get it on the right person.
We could make AoE grenades to increase the alpha strike without using to many spell slots.
Cacophonic burst
Cyclonic blast
Shard storm
Necrotic skull bomb
Shrieking blast
Open up by dropping these near large groups or doors; toss people off or require force and/or sonic damage to come onto the deck.

Teleport-based effects will be useless inside the ships, which are warded against it.
For best results, we should use spells which Viserys himself already knows, since he has limited spell emulation abilities through Blood Wish and Miracle, those are going to be needed to make the disks themselves.
Or some of our other spontaneous casters could contribute. Vee could load them up with her enhanced SNA V spells, for example.
Same limit I mentioned above. With such short notice, we can't afford to waste slots to duplicate spells when those slots are needed to make the disks.
We're not really short on blasting options, though. The force we've gathered has plenty of ranges AoE capabilities.
Most of the initial alpha strike is going to be done by Summoned Elementals and Teleporting Beetle Bombs.

How many spell emulation effects do we have available for Disks? We will be sleeping it off so if the answer is > 0 that's how many we make.
I think these should be used and yes Vee's SMV was intended while Rina could provide Blizzard or Boreal Winds.
An Emergency Force Sphere or Wall of Force will save lives and potentially negate whole enemy strategies.
Our Melees can't allow themselves to be left behind either but I'd focus on the force effects over everything else that isn't coming from Vee or Rina.

Okay, that makes sense.
It's probably most effective to stick to disruptive spells to support all the damage dealing stuff you have set up.
A Flashburst from Viserys per ship would be nice since they have such a long range for the blinding effect.
Maybe a few Doomtides, thunderous roars, and confusions from Vee, Lya, and Xor respectively if they can spare them. We could pass those three spells off to the elementals to trigger when enough guards group up on them.

Yeah, I was thinking about making some Flashburst disks. One for each ship would pretty much encompass the entire ship, potentially blinding any crew members who are still alive.

Assuming he has all 7th, 8th, and 9th level spell slots, that's 20 he could use on Blood Wish or Miracle, either of which will work, and another four if he has all eight 6th level spell slots. Minus the five long duration spells I'm having him use prior to rest, but which will still be in effect for the raid, that's a maximum of 19 spells. Every one of them he uses to duplicate something other than a Delicate Disk is one less disk he can create.
Let's see;
x5 Flashburst Disks
x5 Summon Nature's Ally V Disks (which Vee can fill using 4th level spell slots)
x2 Walls of Force Disks (but effectively costing four disks worth of spells)
x2 Greater Blink Disks (one for Richard and Dany)
x1 Heart of Earth Disk (for Richard and Malarys)
x1 Mirror Image Disk (for Dany)
How's that?

I like it, and thanks @BronzeTongue I kept thinking of Sunburst instead of Flash Burst, there's a plant template that has it as an SLA I want on an Elite Drakenbeast squad.
If I think of anything else I'll let you know @Goldfish but that's a good spread, we need a PoSK for Emergency Force Sphere.

On a tangential side note; is Duelward on the regular buff list? Given that we are fighting Vader!Efreeti an out of turn immediate action counterspell might be worth adding.
Damn. That's a lot of spell slots; I think that might be the most Viserys has ever used at once out of combat.
Think seeing that much wishcraft at once will make the genie uncomfortable?

Are you referring to the sunflower leshies? Too bad that they're so squishy and flammable, little plant bros repeatedly blinding a devil two or three times their size would be fantastic.

Duelward would be ideal, but it's got a very short duration which makes timing it difficult. Battlemagic Perception has a much longer duration and allows the user to Counterspell once as a Free Action. Viserys, Lya, Dany, and Malarys will all be using it for the raid. They all have Rings of Spell-Battle, too, so each of them will be able to Counterspell once as a Free Action and another time as an Immediate Action.On a tangential side note; is Duelward on the regular buff list?

@Deliste is talking about the Plant-Imbued template, I think, which gives the Sunburst spell as a 1/Day spell-like ability.

How dare you, they are gorgeous.
We also have 1003 of those.
For context in the War of the Five Kings the North had 3 cavalrymen for every Giant Plant Dragon we have.

They're also a big reason Lord Tarly is now in our camp.

@DragonParadox
If we win this fast, I know it's a big IF, would a Miracle be enough to shatter those slave-collars en masse?
Either the regular or the XP-cost version?
That would reduce the losses to loot and lifes immensly, especially for the Shaitan who mostly send regular warriors.
UNrelated to that, I'm looking forward to see the Archmage drop a Frostfell on a ship or two. We can finally see how our Shadow of the Doom looks for other people by viewing the cold equivalent.
