I think your current array is pretty solid.For the cantrips, I'd add create bonfire from Elemental Evil if allowed. It provides some battlefield control and is very versatile for outside of combat situations as well. I also prefer minor illusion to prestidigitation for versatility.If you can, see if your dm will let you buy a scroll of mage armor. At this level, you do want it, but you need more spells of higher level for your two free spells per level.The 8 spells I would prepare for your evoke are sleep, shield, mage armor, thunderwave, burning hands, phantasmal force, scorching ray and misty step. The two in there you do not know are mage armor and misty step. You're not feeling versatile because you're still low level. At this level you don't have enough slots to be versatile. You need all of them for your main strengths. The best way to be versatile at low levels is through creative use of cantrips to close doors, block paths, mislead enemies, and otherwise create havoc. As you advance you'll find it harder to prepare all the spells you want for a while. Always rhin about the Spell slots you'll be using for certain spells to figure out if you'll have enough slots left over to making it worthwhile to memorize other spells of that level. For example, at 5th, is there any chance you'll be casting anything other than fireball? If not, you only need to prepare the one 3rd level spell.</blockquote>
