What is your vote for the most overpowered spell in the game?

It is definately difficult to to pin down the most important scenarios. My experience with no-loss games, is that the real point where you have to push spell selection and item selection to the limit is against Hero's, and against the final three big bosses. I'm fairly certain that you can do this with a warrior via a few different routes, and depending on the route, you will value different spells.

For instance, if you are going to make Droids your primary aggressor's, then phantom is both offensive and resurrection, which is a good combination. My play style is to use Dragons when I can, and I get a lot more out of timeback and Target in such scenario. 42 mana to remove all casualties from the first two turns is fast and efficient for that. I could also phantom a dragon stack for a second dragon stack, but as a purely aggressive move, it doesn't represent an answer against the biggest problems the army has: Big bad spells, 'halve', poison, dispel.

Black Knight-solo stack strategy doesn't really care about losses, as long as it can keep mana up, and keep replenishing with Eviln. Phantom probably isn't really worth it here, due to its mana cost, and the defensive nature of the build.

Anyhow, I think we've said all that needs saying on that regards. If we were to put up a 'best 5' spells, I'm sure most people would really only quibble on the top one or two:

1. Time Back
2. Target
3. Stone Skin
4. Phantom
5. Fear

Maybe people who actually use damage spells can weigh in on which are the truly good ones, but I really couldn't comment here.
