I was sent this way by a good friend and old DM of mine to get some advice on how to level some Unique Spells (as per the feat) that one of my players has come up with. In addition to figuring out what level to make these spells, any changes that you might make to the spells if you think they would be "broken" would also be appreciated.
Thanks so much! Here are the spells:
Tom's Almighty Demonlord Destroyer
School: [Electricity]
Level: ??? (Unique)
Casting Time: Standard
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 hour / level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Y
Tom summons the shadow of an arcane artifact crafted by a long-dead god and entombed within an obsidian mountain. It manifests as a skinless hand with six fingers, each ending in a demonic talon. The entire hand is wreathed in black flames and a golden eye is embedded into the center of the palm, restlessly searching at all times. This conjuration revolves around Tom's head and can be dispelled but not attacked.
At the beginning of each of Tom's turns, the almighty demonlord destroyer channels a bolt of golden lightning from it's eye to one hostile target within 100' of Tom's choice, dealing 2 points of damage per caster level.
Tom may use a standard action to command the almighty demonlord destroyer to attack again on his turn.
Diminished Effects: Damage dealt by the almighty demonlord destroyer is reduced to a maximum of 1 point.
Heightened Effects: Damage dealt by the almighty demonlord destroyer is increased to 3 points per caster level.

Tom's Psychedelic Leviathan Warden
School: [Psionic]
Level: ??? (Unique)
Casting Time: Standard
Range: Personal
Target: You

Spell Resistance: Y
Tom summons a world-ending demigod from an utterly alien, but tiny, plane. It manifests as a grapefruit-sized incorporeal mass of bright pink tentacles, multi-pupiled swirling eyes, and razor-like teeth coated in iridescent slime. This conjuration lazily floats around Tom's head and can be dispelled but not attacked.
At the beginning of each of Tom's turns, the psychedelic leviathan warden reveals a fragment of it's power to a single hostile target within 10' of Tom of his choice, dealing 1 point of damage per caster level and dazing the target (Will save to negate).
Tom may use a standard action to command the psychedelic leviathan warden to attack again on his turn.
Diminished Effects: Damage dealt by the psychedelic leviathan warden is reduced to a maximum of 1 point.
Heightened Effects: Range of the psychedelic leviathan warden's attack is increased to 25'
