We aren't using 2024 so I may be mis-remembering the UA.Magic initiate spells are things you will want to cast most adventuring days and will be effective a long time but will only be able to cast 1/day.  Magic initiate wizardShield - a reaction and useful at all levels. Alternate - Hideous Laughter - a good save or suck for all levelsAlternate 2 - Dissonant whispers - damage plus uses target's reaction so it isn't forced movement and can trigger AoOs.Magic initiate clericBless -combo group offensive/defense, useful at all levelsAlternate - Sanctuary - highly effective defense, also useful all the time.TomeRituals- Find Familiar and either Comprehend Languages or Identify (depends on rest of party)Magic initiate Druid* 1st level - entangle (good AoE debuff) or goodberry (distributable healing + food)CantripsThorn whip (forced movement) and Mold EarthMold Earth is highly under rated.  In one action you can <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">make 1 square with partial/full cover and an adjacent square be difficult terrain (5ft hole + 5ft dirt pile).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Make a dropped item take a full action (or more) to recover</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">trap an incapacitated/immobilized enemy waste deep in dirt</li> </ul>In 2 actions you can<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tunnel under a  Wall of X spell (or 1 action for small characters)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">bury a body or dropped/stolen item 5ft deep. Even if they stop to retrieve it, it takes hours to excavate a 5ft hole if you don't have this spell.</li> </ul>.</blockquote>
