You just need to pick up the really goddamn good spells.Invisibility, fly, shield, misty step, alter self, haste, polymorph, greater invisibility...There's maybe 20-25 ultra-strong and versatile spells that are almost always worth preparing, unless you're confident they won't be useful.Plus, don't forget ritual spells. Ritual spells mean you can usually get a ton of utility without even spending a spell slot--because ten minutes to get a useful utility effect is a no-brainer thing nine times out of ten. In effect, every ritual spell you know is permanently prepared, you just need a long time to cast it."Quantum wizard" or "batman wizard" as an argument is simply bunk. You don't need to prepare the theoretical perfect spell for incredibly narrow, ultra-specific situations. A handful of really solid spells, plus one or two reliable offense options, is all you need to ensure you punch well above your weight.</blockquote>
