The wizard in D&D, with one spell, has other options in combat and exploration. They may not be as suited for them as other types of PCs are, but that won't stop the wizard from making valuable contributions.I'm going to reiterate that we need to know more about the situation of the fighter shrugging off the wizard's spells. Are they having any effect at all, just not an encounter-ending one? Could they but are failing to do so because the fighter's rolling hot on his saving throws? Or is this like casting charm person at a brick wall - something the wizard knows can't work yet he does it anyway?If it's the last one, then he is pretty much choosing to be as useless as the wizard who hangs back and laments he can't do anything other than cast sleep once a day. But if it's either of the two previous options, then no he isn't choosing to be useless even if he isn't being particularly successful at stopping the fighter.But again, this has nothing to do with looking at your single spell and concluding that there's nothing else you can do for the rest of the day.</blockquote>
