Your right about the torch... Slighty better version.
And waterspray. Here I really need an opinion.
What about iceball? I think it's not too dark.
The main question is- are they fitting in the style of the rest published here icons?

The club and the tentacle, IMO, have good potential, basically the right angle, and so forth. They'll need a bit of editing up (some texture, some highlights, ...), but they are headed in the right direction.
EDIT: oh, wait, what about some foreshortening on the tentacle? Just an idea.
The torch has also close to the right angle, but it doesn't look to me like it's on fire, so I think it needs more work.
I'm not sure about the sling. On the one hand, it doesn't have that dynamic angle, but on the other hand, is it even _possible_ to put that kind of angle on a sling? Maybe if the stone were flying out? I don't know.
The gaze icons aren't doing much for me, but I'm not sure what to suggest for them either; I think gaze is one of those things that's harder to draw than a sword or an axe, because it's a bit more abstract.
I suspect it's possible to be more dynamic with the water spray.
EDIT2: Regarding the list of ones still needed, in addition to a regular fist, a troll fist is also needed, with rough textured skin, presumably, textured something like tree bark or somesuch, or like "the thing" in the Fantastic Four movie, only with a more trollish hue. Also a boney skeleton fist. The existing fist would be for non-skeletal undeads; I thought "corpse" the instant I saw it.

The sling may as well be one of the hardest weapon to make an icon of, since it is very simple and to add some dinamic and uniqueness would be hard. My call would be the stone coming to you in an angle, like your eye was inbetween the straps.
As for Gaze, since it is a Cockatrice attack, why not a reptilian/avian eye, looking right to the viewer, Godzilla-style?.
But yeah, the last ones will need the... bling factor?... of the other icons, although only that.

I edited the entangle attack, and added some wrinkles. This is not perfect though.
Here is my curse attack, which ad least should be controversial (or maybe not, maybe nobody will like it
) In any case, I had fun drawing it!

Is it just a scetch?
I can´t say that I really don´t like it, but I would do this improvements:
Make the head coloured, not just white outlines. Example: current wail icon.
The flames are half looking like blood. Make some other colours in it. Airbrush is a good tool for this

You know in fact it was mainly a fun drawing for me. I like it as is, it looks like a sort of vision, in some non-real dimension, something like that. That is absolutely no problem if you do not like it, a more classical icon should be done for the curse attack. I think I will use this one as my avatar.
