We kind of take for granted that the powers that be have correctly assigned the right level to a given spell. I think some of it holds over from earlier editions, frankly.
I was thinking recently that the invisibility and greater invisibility spells were maybe a level or two too low -- maybe invisibility should be 3rd and greater invis should be 5th. And I kind of wondered if there could be a weaker version of invis at around 2nd level -- something with an extremely short duration (1 round?) or is a little less effective (maybe a bonus to hide checks instead of total concealment -- maybe combine with the Blur spell?).
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had done any minor -- or major -- reworking of D&D spell levels, and how it worked out for you.
