Tasha's, a single target Wis save, but are also incapacited as well as prone ( they cannot take actions or reactions), can last up to a minute, but they get a save each turn and if attacked ( there is also the chance for creatures to be resistant to Enchantment...). It's Apples vs an Orange, really, (Dex saves usually better than Wis saves for lower level creatures) but Grease wins out for effectiveness.2) yes, shield is probably most effective at the lower levels, at the higher levels, that +5 to AC often is not going to help you. Swap Tasha's for Shield at 1st3) no illusion spells?  Consider Color Spray at 1st (no saves, great for low level mobs) , drop Thunderwave, unless you are Mountain Dwarf and wearing Medium armor (if that is the case, then drop Mage Armor) you do not want to get into a situation where this spell is effective, stay away from melee you're too squishy.  Rely on your combat cantrip, and if you are playing something like High Elf, you can use a bow as well for combat.4) not sure on Alarm, it is a good ritual, and if you were considering Abjurer it would be a mainstay. I'd take something else.</blockquote>
