[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9112684, member: 2209"] Mostly for me that all fits together as classic Magic-User spells because of how I picture wizardly magic being learned from older breakthroughs of specific forumla that create specific magical effects. So of course magic users over time have a core of key ones they learn and teach that are based on both history and usefulness. Magic missile and Fireball. Teleport. Fly. Invisibility. Light. Tried and true classic wizard spells. For magic users as distinct from other D&D casters you have to really go for the idiosyncratic named spells and niche function ones, Tenser's floating disc, Bigy's X Hand, Drawmij's Instant Summons. For the Sword and Sorcery archetype wizard Summonings and mersmerism types, so Charm Person, Suggestion, Dominate Person, etc. For the Doctor Strange type comic book wizard you want an at will blasting cantrip but also neato effects like knock or fly and illusions and prestidigitation, things that are very visual that demonstrate magic is being done.
