1st-level spells that are worthless to a 1st-level caster?

A couple that seem fairly useless for typical low-level characters are Erase and Endure Elements (3.5 version). Granted, there are situations where either of those spells can shine, but how often will a low-level character find themselves in those situations?

I guess it would be conceivable for a low-level wizard to encounter a glyph or similar magical ward, and erase would be handy to have, but his chance of failure is pretty high. Meanwhile, barring extreme settings like Dark Sun or a some frozen land, Endure Elements is not likely to be much use for the low-level mage. Though he could probably journey there, such lands typically are home to great dangers not appropriate for a 1st level character.
