A Symbol spell is an incredibly powerful spell which can be inscribed on a surface to inflict a variety of effects, from outright death to fear, insanity, or sleep for everyone close enough to see it. An option as a unique magical effect could be to feature a spellcaster who has found a way to 'super-size' the effects of this spell, making it visible from a great distance in the sky, and affecting all those who gaze upon it (the 'drone QR code in the sky' from not too long ago comes to mind).
Imagine a blazing symbol so bright and so gigantic that everyone who can comprehend it is instantly stunned by its power, or cursed into sleep. This could act as an impressively powerful defense against invaders, or a tool for subjugating the masses. Just surviving the sight of the grand symbol will be difficult, but then evading its baleful light and making your way to the enormous crystal maintaining its power (as an example) could be a dangerous feat. Perhaps the caster has even recruited blinded or unseeing monsters (like Grimlocks or Grimbrutes) as protection, which are able to navigate regardless of the grand symbol's effects.
