Y'know what? Let's take this opportunity to list spells that we WANT to see in RPGs.

Bubble Raft
>causes a dense collection of air bubbles in a 10ft square to appear on the surface of the water.
>can be controlled by the caster to move as fast as you average row boat.

Mimicry
>target takes on the form of a mundane object, from the size of a tankard up to the creature's actual size.

These are all good ones.

Someone should also make a list of spells they think should NOT be in RPGs

>top of my list: teleportation of distance greater than one mile

>>53708518
elemental magic is the only type i expect and everything else is unnecessary
illusions and charms especially are things that don't need to be in a mages kit

Personally, I think schools of magic should be restricted to specific character classes.
That way every seemingly bullshit thing a wizard does is well-within your expectation of him doing so. (My mind goes to a master summoner suddenly mind-controlling people or an illusionist teleporting 30 miles away)

I expect there to be enough spells for my wizard to be unstoppable. There should be a couple combinations to make them unstoppable, Wish for sure (although its restrictions feel a little dumb sometimes. I mean, come on, it's MAGIC), and spells to pick locks, detect traps, and heal are a no-brainer. I'd also expect there to be summoning spells so my wizard has a melee character protecting them and dealing consistent damage too.
