Honestly all of the 2024 ones are other possibly than evoker - mostly because sorcerers are better evokers than evoker wizards.Spells:Note: I'm being pretty brusque here - these are intended as a good list to work withCantrips:True Strike plus a crossbow and either shortsword or dagger gives you your attack cantrip for levels 1-4; you might swap it out at level 5 but from levels 1-4 it's way better than anything else.Then take your other two from Mage Hand, Minor Illusion, Message, and PrestidigitationFirst level: You can only prepare three spells of your starting six so make the other three rituals - and grab one from each list at level twoRituals: Find Familiar and two of Tenser's Disk, Alarm, Unseen Servant, Detect Magic (you might want to prepare this one), Comprehend LanguagesPrepared: Mage Armour (you'll need it to charge up your Abjurer's Ward), Tasha's Hideous Laughter then two of Shield, Absorb Elements, Jump, Silent Image, Magic MissileNote that there are basically no good wizard abjuration spells at level 2 (Arcane Lock and Arcane Vigour are both ... situational). So when you hit level 3 you'll probably want to pick up two of Shield, Absorb Elements, and Alarm from the level 1 list. Absorb Elements is incredibly good at high level but is for your spellbook at low levels.I've a deeper guide <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YWWUv7KqKlN0pNzNxNALsEgoTo4aIxRh41NmgMRhZks/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.nm9h3qob3wsk" target="_blank">here</a></blockquote>
