I really appreciate to have a player point of view.Some of the spells in OoA are at best, not to be used often. If not downright useless.Charm: Most of your enemies will not have a good save against it. Your DM limitation is what makes that spell mostly useless. Normaly this spell gives you quite a good body guard for it's duration. In OoA. This spell is a bit meh... Shield: In the hands of a pure caster like you. It needs help to be great. Mage Armor and a good dex could raise your AC to 21 with this spell. A protection ring would make your day and the spell would shine for you. But from your standing point, you are right. Mirror Image is a better spell for you.Sleep: Sleep is much more useful than you might think. Alone it's not that good. But if it is done after a nice Fire Ball, the spell is much more potent. You pointed it yourself, weakened enemies are much more susceptible to spell. It is a good spell economy to do it that way. Two fire balls or One fire ball and one sleep? Thunderwave: The dmg is good but the booming sound makes it a bad choice in my campaigns as it will trigger a random encounter roll. 300' feet range is easily double or even more in caverns and water environments. In a dungeon, it is even worse as you will probably alert every room in the floor you're in. If your DM ignore the sound part. That spell is incredible. Otherwise, Burning Hands should be your main choice.Of your second level spells. Your choices were perfect.Hold Person: In your case it is more a matter of the adventure itself if the spell is a bit on the weak side. Fighting drows, duergars and derros is not when this spell shines. Otherwise, this spell can be a savior against a big baddy or a boss with no legendary saves. This spell can end combats very fast.On your third level.Fire Ball: In this you are right again. Fire ball is much better in the hands of an evoker. In your case, lightning bolt would be way better. The positioning would be much easier. Fourth level.Nothing to say. Your comments are right on spot. Stone skin would have been a good choice for you if you get into melee or the victim of ranged attacks. Otherwise some spells might give you better results.Fifth level: You're not there yet. But a cone of cold could round up your character well. But I am curious; what are your cantrips? which feat (if any) will you take when you hit level 12?</blockquote>
