The function for creating an AOE (effect):
// Create an Area Of Effect effect in the area of the creature it is applied to.
// If the scripts are not specified, default ones will be used.
effect EffectAreaOfEffect(int nAreaEffectId, string sOnEnterScript="", string sHeartbeatScript="", string sOnExitScript="")
which you apply to a location:
// Apply eEffect at lLocation.
void ApplyEffectAtLocation(int nDurationType, effect eEffect, location lLocation, float fDuration=0.0f)
nAreaEffectId is an index to vfx_persistent.2da
In that 2da you can create new AOEs with different radii. Here are some that I made for my own purposes.

I left the event scripts blank so that I could declare whatever I wanted in the EffectAreaOfEffect function.
Enjoy.
