Didn't BG2 having something called "sequencer" to cast a shitload of spells in one turn?
Good Old Might&Magic VI and VII had a higher level spell called "Day of the Gods" - it simultaneously cast Haste, Featherfall, Stoneskin and several other buffs on the entire party. There was another spell with another collection of buffs the name of which I do not remember.

On another forum, in a "what do werewolves talk about with one another" thread, a wit suggested that the go-to conversation opener at lonewolf bars is not "comest thou hither oft times?" but "sniffed any interesting butts lately?"
