In 3.5's Spell Compendium (p. 107), you'll find a mechanically-unique offensive spell called Great Thunderclap. It's unique in that it causes no damage, but has the potential to impart 3 different negative conditions to all those affected by it.
So I come to y'all for your insights on 2 issues related to this cool evocation spell:
1. Are there any similar spells in 3.5 or PF1 that do zero or very-minimal damage, yet can potentially cause more than 1 debilitating condition to the targets?
2. If you were going to mod, homebrew or research a Great Thunderclap variant (of similar spell level), what advice would you give on using 3 different debilitating conditions than deafening, stunning & making prone?

On a related note, our forum's Thurbane posted an interesting Great Thunderclap theme thread a few years ago where he was discussing applying a damage component to the spell in order to piggyback yet even more negative condition riders to the spell's subjects.
