Hello Jodi,
I understand that your "spell formula" consists of three elements
I. Invocation - "Clan name" e.g.
II. Command/request toward the invocated Clan name "Ignite my power"
If yes, then let us proceed to the translation.
Example:
(Clan name "Lightning)! Ignite my power! A strike with lightning/a lightning strike!
Fulmen! Vim meam excita*! Ictus fulmineus**!
translation: Lightning (clan)! Excite/arouse my power! A strike with ligthing/ a lightning strike!
* I used word "excito" - arouse, excite, bring out (there is a verb "ignio" but it does not refer to initing power but setting something on fire/making it red hot
**Totius Latinitatis Lexicon,
Now let us work on the vocative cases of your clan names
1) Lightning - please use Fulmen!, not Fulgor (fulgor is both rare and medieval)
2) water - Aqua!
3) ice - Glacies!
4) air - Anima! (OK, Anima is gramatically OK for element; however I would rather use Aer! but this is just my opinion)
The second part of your spell (command toward clan) Vim meam excita!
Now the third part of your spell formula (infinitive forms; however I will also give you imperative forms singular II person active and passive subjunctive like "may he/she be kindled/set on flame - following Nick's previous pattern:
to kindle (something/someone)/set on fire - incendere (inf), incenda (kindle/set on fire him/her/it); incendatur (may he/she/it be kindled, set on flame)
bolt - I need exact info what kind of bolt
Tornado/Violent Whirlwind - Turbo/Typhon; Turbo/Typhon fiat (let there be a tornado)
stream of water - Rivulus/Flumen Aquae; Fluatur Aqua! - let the water flow/stream!
blow a gail - I have no idea
fire a firbolt: to fire a firebolt (inf) - ictum igneum iacere/mittere; ictum igneum iace/mitte (imperative); iaciatur/mittatur ictus igneus (let the firebolt be sent/cast/thrown)
A strike with lightning/ a lightning strike - Ictus fulmineus! Ictus fulmineus fiat (let there be a lightning strike);
strike her/him/it down with a lightning! (imperative) - fulmine preme/ fulmine ad terram afflige
may he/she/it be striked down with a lightning - fulmine prematur/fulmine ad terram affligatur

Jodi Nicholls dixit:For example:
accendo -cendere -cendi -censum, to kindle, set alight, set on fire. Transf., to fire, inflame, excite.
III. The content of the spell e.g. either infinite form (as provided by you in your first post) or as nominative case of certain occurrence/phenomenon.Jodi Nicholls dixit:fire or kindle a flame/bolt/whirlwind/tornado/stream of water/ blow a gail/fire a firbolt/strike with lightning... etc.
