Offensively, Shocking Grasp seems fine because its a melee attack,  Magic Missile seems ok, but I'm not sure why it scales and it seems pretty lame that its an auto-hit at-will for both other players and even for the wizard player themselves.  "I shoot magic missile. I don't need to roll. Your turn."    Ray of Frost SEEMS overpowered but I want to see it in play.  I'm guessing it will be one of those wizard-type issues where if there is only ONE enemy, you could potentially run into a problem. I mostly roll my eyes at Light because very few groups I've ever played with have wanted to bookkeep for light sources constantly. Its ok when it comes up once in a while, but having dark caves filled with enemies with darkvision gets old if youre doing it constantly. Mage Hand like many low-level utility spells, can be useless in the hands of someone uncreative, awesome in the hands of a good player and annoying in the hands of someone in the middle who keeps trying to abuse the system.  It probably needs to have a few more restrictions if its going to be at-will. My BIG problem? That I haven't seen anyone talking about yet??? DETECT MAGIC AT WILL.I guess you can pretty much give up hiding magic items anywhere ever. Why wouldn't the wizard walk around with almost permanent detecto vision? This seems ripe for abuse.  Again, I really feel the at-will spells need to have carefully considered restrictions.</blockquote>
