D&D 5E (2024) How Many Offensive Spells Do You Ned to Know?

[Zardnaar]

Vicious Mockery and Tasha's Hideous Laughter should be more than offensive enough, until you get Irresistable Dance.

Most illusion spells can be incredibly offensive as well, if you're creative.

Cantrips were free i would add an AoE control spell.

i'd alter create bonfire to be the AoE control cantrip, just make it a 3x3 AoE/15ft square rather than a lone tile and keep the rest of it the same, maybe drop it down to d6 rather than d8?
