Well, they`re back. In Dragon 309, Sean K Reynolds has an article
published on "War Spells". They`re rather like battle spells- upgraded
versions of regular spells. You need a feat, "War Magic Study", to cast
them (prereq: Great Fortitude, Iron Will, spellcaster level 3rd).
Casting time usually a minute, and you must have surveyed the terrain for
at least a minute before you can cast them (making them effectively
useless for normal adventuring). Concentration checks if you are
interrupted during the minute of casting are 10 higher than normal. The
spells can be learned once you have the feat, and are typically 1 level
higher than the non-war version. There are guidelines for creating battle
spells, and then a bunch of examples. Material components (always
required) are typically spell level * minimum caster level * 100 gp.
Not a terrible version of them for 3e, I suppose, especially if you liked
the originals. Still not the way I would have done them.

As an aside, I had planned on looking at Red Wizard circle magic from the FRCS and the Co-operative Spell feat (can't recall off-hand what book that is in) to see if I could come up with a workable system of my own as I'm not terribly fond of the battle magic system in the boxed set. Now I'll consider using Sean's work as well ... once I get my hands on that Dragon mag.

I would guess that its the system his friend and collaborator, Sean Reynolds
published in last month`s Dragon.
