What are the most powerful spells for the listed magic types?

Question

I want to know what the most powerful spells (providing actual metrics) are for each of the following magic types:

• Force/Beam Effect (Right-click)
  1. Beams
  2. Projectile Bombs
  3. Projectile Barrages
• Area Of Effect (Hold shift while right clicking)
  1. Novas
• Imbue Weapon (Hold shift while left clicking)
  1. Elemental Blades
  2. Arcane Blades
  3. Fissure Blades
• Shield Effect
  1. Walls
  2. Storms
  3. Mines
  4. Resistance Auras
  5. Barriers

I realize there have been questions about parts of this in the past, but none of them have quantifiable metrics. Without data its hard to evaluate the quality of other answers.

Answer

All these are sourced from Magickapedia

Bestest Beam: Super Steam Lightning Beam SQFQFAA Damage/sec ~701

Bestest Projectile: Blizzardball D-QR-QR-QR-QR Damage 2304 Changed 10011

Bestest Nova: Super Arcane Steam Lightning Nova S-Q-F-Q-F-A-A Damage 2802

Elemental Blades: No hard data, but I know that having a lightning blade helps up the lightning effect, so it depends what off-hand weapon you have

Arcane Blades: Super Arcane Steam Lightning Blade S-Q-F-Q-F-A-A Damage ~2800

Fissure Blades: No hard data, guessing that *Arcane Freeze-Wall Fissure * Q-R-R-E-D-S would be best

Walls: Exploding Electric Ice Wall E-Q-R-S-A-R Damage 1500 - 2000

Storms: Steam Lightning Storm E-Q-F-A Damage 60 - fast ticks
