Your Favorite Spells And Their Creative Uses

Unseen servant has always been a great one for out of combat encounters. The possibilities with it are endless.

Recently I used Unseen Servant to create a bunch of white noise on a burrowing creature with using tremorsense (by pounding on the ground away from our actual position). Saved my (and at least one other PC's) butt.

Now you're thinking with portals.

I can't give you xp again, but that is hilarious.

Best spell bar none ? Mount

... trap detector
... cover
... instant door blockage
... distraction
... a friend to talk (monolog) to.
... quick cash (cast again to leave town before duration expires)
... adding confusion to any social situation.
... ladder
... shark bait.

if all else fails you can actually ride it.

I played a sorcerer who would cast this spell multiple times per day. He used all but one of these.
He wanted to develop a variation "Rain of Horses" but never got around to it.

Most creative use of "Animate Rope" I've ever seen......

Depanted a giant and his bag of rocks.

The distraction was enough for us to run for our lives.
