Bioware took out some of the world ruling spells because they would be impossible to do in a scripted environment as they always involve DM interpretation and intervention, but they did add in some overpowered stuff of their own, IGMS being the best example.

1[18:15] <Mining> MAW OF CHAOS
01[18:15] <Mining> Abjuration [Chaotic]
01[18:15] <Mining> Level: Sorcerer/wizard 9
01[18:15] <Mining> Components: V, S, M
01[18:15] <Mining> Casting Time: 1 standard action
01[18:15] <Mining> Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
01[18:15] <Mining> Area: 15-ft.-radius emanation
01[18:15] <Mining> centered on a point in space
01[18:15] <Mining> Duration: 1 round/level
01[18:15] <Mining> Saving Throw: Will partial
01[18:15] <Mining> Spell Resistance: Yes
01[18:15] <Mining> At the culmination of casting the spell you
01[18:15] <Mining> open your mouth wide as if to yawn. In
01[18:15] <Mining> imitation, the air cracks and splits, opening
01[18:15] <Mining> into a yawning area of roiling blue-green
01[18:15] <Mining> energy resembling a great mouth.
01[18:15] <Mining> All creatures in the area take 1d6 points
01[18:15] <Mining> of damage per caster level in the round
01[18:15] <Mining> when you cast the spell and each round
01[18:15] <Mining> thereafter at the start of your turn.
01[18:15] <Mining> Those damaged must also make a Will
01[18:15] <Mining> saving throw or be dazed for 1 round.
01[18:15] <Mining> Second, the chaotic energy makes it
01[18:15] <Mining> diffi cult to concentrate. Any activity
01[18:15] <Mining> that involves concentration (such as
01[18:15] <Mining> casting a spell or using a spell-like
01[18:15] <Mining> ability) requires a Concentration check
01[18:15] <Mining> (DC 25 + spell level) to succeed.
01[18:15] <Mining> Creatures with the chaotic subtype
01[18:15] <Mining> are unaffected by this spell.
01[18:15] <Mining> Material Component: A jawbone with
01[18:15] <Mining> teeth.
IGMS style damage in a durational AoE that makes it hard to cast spells and also dazes you on failed will. IGMS, SoV, eat your heart out.
