Magic Mouth (Change to 1st level spell). This is mainly just a fun spell or good for dungeon design. There is nothing wrong with it, but also no need for it to be 2nd level. It would be just fine as a 1st level spell.
I guess I'm the only one who thinks that magic mouth isn't just a great spell, its a world changing spell on the order of fly. In addition to be incredibly versatile for delivering messages (degrees, notifications, inducements, threats, warnings, taunts and insults), its triggering effect gives it great sentinel abilities. The fact that is PERMANENT is what takes this spell over the top. Every 10 minutes, the spell can repeat its message forever!
Depending on the situation this can be useful for advertisements, gathering information, annoying someone into taking impulsive action, broadcasting secrets that someone would rather not have revealed, planting doubts about leadership and other propaganda campaigns.
Given enough of these spells scripted conversation is possible. Arguably a weapon of warning can be constructed with the use of this spell alone.
The potential for this spell to modify behavior in players, monsters, NPC's and DM's through positive and/or negative reinforcement techniques or hypnotic scripting outside of the game rules is largely unexplored by most players.
