My preference would be less fire (drop DBF, it is only better than fireball after a big delay really) and less rays (drop FoD, it hits con, high level stuff tends to have high con, single target), and probably drop lightning bolt (decent damage type, but less useful AOE, same damage as fireball)I'm not sure I would take Fire Shield myself, but I think the offensive spells probably are enough to get the flexibility to do some more interesting things - conjure minor elementals, fly, hypnotic pattern. Hold person/monster would be good in there.Let me emphasize it again - I think that the test is mostly fine. I think they would have done a bit better with a slightly different spell selection. I don't know how much foreknowledge was assumed, but that particular setup is heavy on the offensive spells for the wizard who burned all of his level 3 slots on a single one <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> The lower level spells are useful for a lot longer - helped by the fact that lower level monsters are also useful for a lot longer.</blockquote>
