There is little this spell can do that a hired man at arms cannot.  Yes, you know it will be loyal and it is generally expendable, but it really is akin to a simple guard. There is subterfuge you can do with it (give a doll as a present and then have the doll rob the target), but that is a spell to use in town. It just won't hold up to the rigors of an adventure in a dungeon. I sat down with my wizard PC and rebuilt him assuming I had Xanathar's the entire time I played him. There were very few spells in Xanathar's that made it into his spellbook, and even fewer that he actually prepared. Most of those were in Elemental Evil and have been around a long time. This and Enemies Abound made the cut at 3rd level (it was an enchanter), but only to get in the spellbook... Not to be prepared on a regular basis.</blockquote>
