It could be a lot more than four targets. In any case, the Blindness/Deafness spell at the same level affects only one target and doesn't reveal invisible creatures. To be fair, it is permanent, but that isn't all that relevant in combat situations. I think Glitterdust is just too powerful for its level. It's a tangential point anyway. There are spells that are overpowered, and simply changing them during play is something DMs can/should do.That it does.I see Divination as a pretty popular prohibited school. And those are pretty high level; don't often get up there. I bet they're nice though.The last PC playing a wizard was an evoker who mostly took damage spells. Magic missile remained his most cast spell up through 6th or 7th level. Him being a PC in my game, his net worth in gold was probably greater than his body weight.I also see a lot of transmuter/conjurer "support mage" types and a variety of esoteric casters, but certainly, IME the most popular reason to play a wizard/sorcerer is for the damage dealing spells.I think that's a bit of an overstatement. Even to the extent that it's true, I don't it as a bad thing. Players play fighters because they want to kill orcs. Players play wizards because they want to play trump cards. Why not give them what they want?</blockquote>
