[QUOTE="Thornir Alekeg, post: 1790143, member: 15651"] At very low levels, I tend to stick with things that can quickly even bad odds such as Color Spray or Sleep. As I gain levels and get a little diversity, I try and predict what sort of thing I might be doing and prepare spells I see as most likely being useful. Will I be out in the woods or down in a dungeon? Will I be speaking with lots of NPCs or spilling their blood? It does mean that when we make the transition - walking through the woods and stumble onto a dungeon - I may not have the best choice of spells ready, but I deal with it and hope for the best until the next day. I am also very much into finding creative uses for spells, so the more flexible the spell is, the more likely I'll take it. I usually avoid the "does lots of damage to a single foe" spells - that's what the fighters are for. ;) Last thing is personality of the character. My current wizard got smacked down by an invisible foe back a couple of levels. He now refuses to start the day without at least one See Invisibility known - he won't let that happen again if he can.
