@Canageek So those are all ideas for spells for the RPG I'm working on. I want to avoid the buff tax 3e had, where wizards basically existed to cast buff and save or suck spells. So I've focused on a few attack spells, which I'll probably expand, and a lot of cool spells that you can use creatively.
