Have you ever wanted to be a wizard, conjuring fireballs and binding demons as easily as a normal human being changes a litter box? Rearranging matter, energy and the very stuff of reality in no more time than it takes you to stir your microwavable macaroni and cheese before putting it back in for another 30 seconds on high?
In Dungeons & Dragons that can happen … eventually. However, classic D&D holds to the notion that if your first six characters are killed in horrible ways, you’ll really appreciate it when the seventh survives for a while. So your neophyte wizard needs to master a few spells that are, shall we say, less impressive.
Which are the best of these first-level spells, these arcane equivalents of rounded scissors and nontoxic glitter glue? Watch and learn.
