They're actually even more flexible, since each feature is separate: you could swap out both a regular Bard spell and a Magical Discoveries spell when you gain a level.So...yeah. You have old offense spells from level 1 that you aren't using anymore? Drop 'em and pick up some utility instead. There are always a few 1st and 2nd level spells worth hanging onto for their utility benefits, and you can keep magic missile or chromatic orb if you REALLY want to have something to spend those low-level slots on.Hence, I stand by what I said. Very roughly 5 spells--updating now and then for offensive potency--will get you everything you need out of offense. Anything further is, to at least some extent, an attempt to optimize for combat, and that's a bigger ask than the original question.</blockquote>
