So real quick, need a couple spells that do at least a point of damage (preferably un-typed but can work with an energy type) over a duration. Something that doesn't allow for a save, and isn't as limited by hit-points as the power word spells are. I mean, those are fantastic, but harder for this concept to use.

Maybe power word pain, lvl 1 spell, races of the dragon, 1d6 damage for 10 rounds (if I remember well, am AFB atm).

Acid Arrow (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/acidArrow.htm) is the first that comes to mind for me, 2d4 acid damage per round for 1 round+1 round/3 CL, (maximum 7 rounds at CL 18). It's Long range, Touch attack and no save or Spell Resistance. You can throw it into an antimagic field and it'll still work.

Did kinda mention that I was looking for something not as limited by hit points as the power word spells. I plan on hitting things with a lot of hit points with this.

I could make that work, bit even hitting touch AC will be difficult for me.

Thunderhead sort of works - it has a save, but it's a separate save for each round so you don't get the whole spell negated by one save.

Acid fog, Cinder Cloud, Cloudkill, Freezing Fog all do this. Freezing Fog has the longest duration of all of these (being minutes instead of rounds).

Kelgore's Grave Mist. It even deals damage if it fails to bypass SR.
