Silent Image is not a very good combat spell as physical interaction does not require an action, it is just part of movement.Levitate can be good when fighting creatures without ranged attacks in an area where there is room to float up. But Levitate costs an action. Not only are combats short but early actions are worth a lot in combat. Often the difference between life and death is taking out enemy creatures before they're able to do their damage to you. You can cast it before you expect combat but it is dangerous if some enemies are able to hit you as it is concentration and falling damage is a thing.It is also a 2nd level spell and so is invisibility. And they both require concentration so you can't use your more potent offensive concentration spells on the enemy creatures.The other thing being discounted is taking away enemy creature's actions. Each blocked attack is the same as taking an attack away from the creature.</blockquote>
