Cantrips
 DazePHB: Often overlooked, Daze has a small but useful niche at low levels. 4 hit dice covers
most low-CR creatures, including things like Ogres (CR 3; 4 hit dice). Dazing a creature robs it of its
turn, so in single-monster encounters this buys your entire party a free round. It does only work
against humanoids, but humanoids are abundantly common enemies at low levels. Goblins, orcs,
anything in the Players Handbook. I can't count how many adventures I've played that have had
frequent humanoid enemies for the first several character levels.

1st-level
 Color SprayPHB: This will become gradually less effective as you gain levels, but the 60-foot
cone and the effects are amazing.
 Dawn BurstCM: A weaker version of Glitterdust. If you just need to blind stuff, this works fine.
 GreasePHB: This spell was a mistake. A 1st-level spell which requires a Balance check to
move. Balance. How many times have you put ranks into Balance? Anything that isn't flying is
susceptible to this. Most animals? Check. Golems? Check. Giants? Check. Throw it under the
tarrasque and watch if fall over.
 SleepPHB: Only affects 4 HD of creatures, but with long range minutes/level duration you can
bring down whole encounters before they know you're there. Walk up and coup de grace the victims.

2nd-level
 Blindness/DeafnessPHB: Glitterdust is generally my go-to blinding effectm but
Blindness/Deafness is permanent and works on a Fortitude save. This makes it an excellent counter
to enemy spellcasters who will have trouble targeting ranged spells when they can't see.
 Electric LoopSC: Mediocre damage and the targets need to fail two saves to be stunned.
 Entice GiftBoVD/Dr: Entice an enemy to give you their weapon. You'll be standing advacent to
them, but at least they won't have a weapon in hand.
 Ethereal PrisonSC: Essentially force cage for ethereal foes. Very effective, but very situational.
A scroll should be sufficient.
 Ghoul TouchPHB: Touch range is hard for most Sorcerers and Wizards, but if you have a
familiar which can deliver touch spells you're golden. Cast this before going into a fight, and have
your familiar smack something. The duration is short, so be sure to send an ally to finish off the
target.
 GlitterdustPHB: A spell that should remain your arsenal well into high levels, Glitterdust grants
the ability to reveal invisibile foes and blind things in an area on one spell. Notably, this is one of the
only things in the game that requires a will save but isn't mind-affecting. That means that it works on
undead, which generally have poor will saves.
 Hold PersonPHB: Only affects one humanoid, and they get saves ever round. Go for Ghoul
Touch instead.
 Lahm's Finger DartsBoVD: No save, and strikes unerringly. Hold off on using this until you can
shoot 4 or 5 darts, at which point you do enough Dexterity damage to reliably incapacitate most of
the monster manual. The Strength damage can be a problem for especially weak wizards, and the
loss of a useful hand is annoying, so make sure you have a Cleric handy to cast Lesser Restoration
to get a few fingers back.
 RebukeSC: Daze a creature for a round. Great in single-enemy encounters. The extra effect
on enemy spellcasters is neat, buf if you can get past their Will saves you should be doing
something more than forcing them to make Concentration checks.
 Stay the HandPHB2: A great way to keep enemies from killing you between turns.

3rd-level
 Alter FortunePHB2: Force enemies to reroll when they save against your spells, or let your allies
reroll when they failes saves against something lethal. The XP cost can become a problem, so be
sure not to rely on this except in emergencies.
 Bands of SteelSC: Immobilize the targety on a failed save or entangle them on a success.
 Deep SlumberPHB: A bigger version of Sleep. Still very effective, but this will become useless
as you level.
 Halt UndeadPHB: Essentially paralysis for three undead, and unintelligent undead don't get a
save. Attacking the targets unparalyzes them, so use the time to destroy other creatures in the
encounter or to prepare to quickly dispatch the affected undead.
 HaltPHB2: Hesitate is generally better..
 HesitatePHB2: Similarly effective to Hold Monster, but two levels lower and you can cast it as an
immediate action. The target still gets to move and they get extra saves, but the saves eat their swift
action and without a Standard action they can't do anything else interesting on their turns.
 Shivering TouchFB: 3d6 Dexterity damage can incapacitate many enemies. No save, but
requires a touch attack.
 SlowPHB: In theory a fantastic debuff. It works on Will saves, and most strongly affects
creatures which tend to have poor Will saves. However, if you can reliably defear those same
creatures with a single Will save, why would you bother debuffing them? I've brought this into a few
games and I never seem to find time to use it.
 Stinking CloudPHB: Difficult to use in confined spaces, but the ongoing saves make this
extremely reliable. Nauseated limits creatures to a single move action, so they can try to walk away
but likely won't outrun your party. If your targets escape the cloud, the 1d4+1 lingeing duration
should be enough to clean up the encounter.
 UnluckSC: If you can get past the target's will save you should have already incapacitated
them.
 WrackBoVD/CD/SC: Single target, but the target is helpless and blind for rounds per level.

4th-level
 Bestow CursePHB: Robbing a creature of 50% of its turns is pretty great, but you should be
able to totally eliminate a creature with the same save.
 Black TentaclesPHB: Among the best area control spells in the game. Many creatures,
especially small ones and ones that rely on magic in combat, are extremely susceptible to grappling.
Black tentacles allows no save and no spell resistance, so the only way to resist it is to escape the
grapple by some means.
 CelerityPHB2: If you can end a fight with one more spell, use Celerity and hope you don't mess
up.
 ConfusionPHB: More comical than effective, I don't like Confusion because it's unreliable. If you
can affect a single creature with a Will save at the same DC it should be functionally dead, not
running around like a babbling fool who might kill you in a few rounds.
 Corporeal InsabilityPH: For the same save I would opt for Finger of Agony instead. Allowing
the creature to save again each round means that you can only count on a 1 round duration, while
Finger of Agony's 3 round duration should be enough to kill the target.
 Finger of AgonyCM: Nauseated prevents the target from doing anything potentially harmful,
and the three round duration is great.
 Horrid SicknessCM: Nauseated is a great debuff, but the targets get to repeat the save as a
move action, potentially allowing them to take a standard action the turn immediately after you cast
this.
 Mirror ImagePHB2: Cast as an immediate action, and it gives you up to a 8/9 miss chance once
you get enough images.
 PolymorphPHB: One the best and most confusing spells in the game. Polymorph's arbitrary Hit-
Dice limitation allows you to adopt all sorts of insane forms. Hydra is one of my favorites, and I've
had party members turn an impending TPK into a resounding victory based solely on this spell. With
minutes/level duration, you may be able to walk through several encounters on a single casting.
 Phantasmal KillerPHB: One of the earliest true save-or-die spells, but it allows 2 saves and
since it's both a Fear effect and Mind-Affecting lots of things will get bonuses on the saves or will be
immune to it.
 Resilient SpherePHB: A poor man's force cage. The target can still "breath normally", so you'll
need to come up with some other shenanigans to kill the target.
 Solid FogPHB: Perhaps an abnormal recommendation, Solid Fog is a fantastic component of
any area control combination. Need to pin down fast-moving enemies? Solid Fog. Need to wear
down a tough enemy who you're having trouble affecting? Solid Fog and Blade Barrier or Wall of
Fire. If you have blindsense or something similar you can still get a lot done despite the visibility
limitations.
 Spell ThiefCM: A weaker version of Reaving Dispel. See Reaving Dispel under 9th-level spells,
below.
 Stone ShapePHB: A lot of adventuring takes place in places with stone, so this will almost
always work. There are obvious uses like making cover or obstacles, but there's nothing stopping
you from encasing your enemies in a nice thick wooden box with no breathing holes.

5th-level
 Baleful PolymorphPHB: Enemy is now a small harmless animal. They have a ridiculous number
of hit points, but they're no longer a problem. Turn them into a clam if you're underwater, a flying
squirrel if you're in the air, or a turtle if you're on the ground. Basically anything that's vulnerable, but
technically not "lethal" so they don't get the +4 bonus on the save.
 DismissalPHB: Outsiders become increasingly common at high levels, even if you're not on
their home plane. Send them home. Keep in mind that many high-CR outsiders have Plane Shift and
can return to the plane you're on, but Plane Shift doesn't provide precise enough transport that they
can return to face you again immediately.
 CloudkillPHB: AOE Constitution damage. Combine this with Solid Fog or other effects which
prevent enemies from moving out of the way.
 Dominate PersonPHB: Only works on humanoids, but when it works it works really well.
 FeedblemindPHB: Cripples other sorcerers and wizards, and they get -4 on the save.
 Flesh to IceFB: Essentially Flesh to Stone on spell level early, but it's a little harder to thaw the
subject again later if you choose to do so. Don't use this on anyone holding loot, but on everything
else this works fine.
 Flesh to SaltSS: Essentially the same as Flesh to Ice.
 Hold MonsterPHB: The target gets another save every round, but even if they only lose one
round that could be enough to win the fight for you.
 Power Word DisableRotD: If the target is already below 50 hit points you can probably kill them.
 Touch of VecnaCM: Permanent paralysis is like death, but you can take the creature home for
questioning and such.
 Transmute Rock to MudPHB: Combined with Transmute Mud to Rock you can turn an entire
room into a Reflex save or die. Trap your enemies in chest-deep stone and leave them there.
 Stop HeartBoVD: Save or die, essentially. The drug component costs 10gp and you need to
consume it, so be sure to check the drug rules to prevent it from becoming a problem.
 Touch of ChaosEoE: Disgusting and crazy, but you can kill people with the same save.

6th-level
 Acid FogPHB: Fantastic if you can keep enemies within the area long enough to kill them, but
at only 2d6 damage per round that's unlikely without another spell. If you're going to combine two
spells, there are better combinations.
 Circle of DeathPHB: It's hard to argue with outright killing everything in the room. The 500gp
material component can become a problem if you rely on this too heavily, so try to rely on other
options where possible.
 Flesh to StonePHB: Single-target save-or-suck. Unfortunately, if you use it on a creature with
gear you'll need to use Stone to Flesh to unpetrify it. Nothing a bit of chiselling or some manacles
won't fix. Fantastic, but Flesh to Ice/Salt are a level lower and just as effective.
 Fleshshiver: As your caster level improves, so does this spell. At high levels many enemies
stop scaling based on hit dice, so you may still be guaranteed the free 1 round of stun. After that,
this is still a great save-or-suck spell. Nauseated for 1d4+2 rounds means that the target loses all of
the important parts of their turn for at least 3 turns, and on top of that they take a nice pile of
damage.
 Freezing GlanceFB: Freeze on target in place per round. Basically hold monster every round
for rounds per level.
 Mass SuggestionPHB: For hours per level you can convince enemies to do something that isn't
causing you trouble, like going and taking a nap.
 MummifySS: Save-or-die on one creature as a touch attack.
 Ooze PuppetSC: Effectively dominate monster for oozes. Oozes have terrible saving throws,
so the DC shouldn't be a problem. It's hard to justify a spell which only works on such an uncommon
creature type, but a scroll wouldn't hurt. With day/slevel duration, you can get a lot of mileage out of
your pet ooze before you eventually need to kill it or renew the spell.
 OverwhelmPHB2: Flesh to Stone is a much simpler way to incapacitate a foe semi-lethaly.
 Power Word NauseateRotD: No save, and Nauseated limits targets to a (largely useless) move
action.
 Smoky ConfinementCM: Carry your party around in bottles, then release them like pokeballs.
The 100gp material cost is annoying, but the ability to non-lethally capture enemies can be very
useful. There are other ways to do this, but generally they require you to carry around a body of
some sort.
 Undeath to DeathPHB: Circle of Death for the undead. See Circle of Death, above.
 Wages of SinBoED: Turn whole encounters against their allies. Even if some enemies pass the
save, the few who fail will do enough damage to tip the fight in your favor. No somatic components,
so you can use this safely in a grapple.
 7th-level
 Antimagic RayDr/SC: I really want this spell to be amazing, but it just isn't. It's a will save that
essentially disables spellcasters, but you can just use Finger of Death instead with the same save.
Kiss of Draconic Defiance is arguably better at preventing enemy spellcasting since it affects
multiple targets.
 BanishmentPHB: AOE Dismissal, and you can boost your caster level to overcome spell
resistance and the DC by presenting some objects. Facing demons? Open up your trench-coat full
of holy water and holy symbols of good deities. Facing celestials? Show off some unholy water (yes
it's a thing) and symbols of evil deities. Fire elementals? Pour out your waterskin. Air elementals?
Um... rocks, I guess?
 Constricting ChainsBoED: No save and no spell resistance. At medium range you can cast this
from over 200 feet away and spend over a minute doing whatever you like while the target struggles
pointlessly to escape. The nonlethal damage really just adds insult to injury. You take 1d2 points of
Strength drain to cast this, but who cares? You're a sorcerer/wizard! What are you going to do with
Strength? Carry loot? That's the fighter's job.
 Control UndeadPHB: Similar to Undeath to Death, and affects a similar number of hit dice. With
minutes per level duration you can probably drag one encounter into the next encounter and make
the two kill each other. Absent that option, command the undead to destroy themselves. The spell
doesn't allow additional saves, so you can make them do whatever you want totally unimpeded.
 Evil GlareSC: For rounds per level you can stare at one creature and save-or-suck paralyze it
for 1d8 rounds. The fact that Clerics get this too and can use Divine Metamagic / Persist Spell to use
this all day is just cruel. If you've got that combination running you can basically take the day off from
spellcasting and just glare at people while your party kills them.
 Final RebukeSC: Single-target save or die. If they manage to not die, they're still dazed so
they still ost an entire turn.
 Finger of DeathPHB: Straight to the point. Kills stuff dead on a Fortitude save.
 Force CagePHB: An astounding 2 hours per level duration gives you lots of options. If you need
to kill the target, use the barred version and fill the cube with Cloudkill or Blade Barrier or something
else unpleasant. The 1500gp component is going to get expensive, so don't make this your go-to for
every fight.
 Ghost TrapLM/SC: Incorporeal creatures, especially undead like shadows and wraiths, are a
huge pain. They like to do things like hide inside of walls and reach out to attack you. Turning them
corporeal while they're inside walls should be sufficiently lethal that they're no longer a problem.
Since this is an area and you're not targeting anything, you don't need line of effect like you do with
other options like Control Undead.
 Glass StrikeSC: If you want to turn an enemy into something breakable, use flesh to ice. If you
want to melt a hole in a wall, use Disintegrate.
 Hide from DragonsDr/SC: Not nearly as useful as Hide from Undead, but at this high level
dragons are a serious threat. A scroll of this can save your party's life, but I wouldn't bother learning
this unless you're in a dragon-heavy campaign.
 Hiss of SleepSC: Multi-target save-or-suck with no spell resistance. This is better than Mass
Hold Monster, which is a 9th-level spell in all ways but one: Hiss of sleep's area of effect is measure
from you instead of from a point at range. Of course, even short range is pretty impressive by this
level. At minimum, you're looking at a 60-foot radius from where you're standing, which is easily
enough to encompass most encounters.
 Kiss of Draconic DefianceDr: Make every spellcaster in the area have a ton of problems
casting spells. Your save DC probably scales a lot faster than most spellcaster's Fortitude saves, so
this will probably stop several spells.
 Plane ShiftPHB: Useful both as an escape mechanism and as an offensive option. Send
enemies to a plane where they'll die, like your demiplane full of highly lethal traps and golems and
 stuff. Or take your buddies on a cool vacation, like to your demiplane full of highly lethal traps and
golems and stuff. Make sure to carry a bunch of tuning forks for various planes.
 Mass Hold PersonPHB: Hiss of Sleep is objectively better; it affects more things, it doesn't
allow additional saves, it doesn't allow spell resistance, and it affects a larger AOE. Even if you
specifcally need to paralyze humanoids, Transix is considerably better.
 Mass Flesh to SaltSS: Save or suck in an AOE.
 InsanityPHB: I dislike this for the same reason I dislike Confusion.
 Power Word BlindPHB: 1d4+1 isn't long enough to justify for healthy opponents, and if the
target is weak enough for the other categories you can just disintegrate them.
 Radiant AssaultSC: Long range AOE that dazes creatures on a failed save and does a bit of
damage. 1d6 rounds of Daze is pretty good, but if you want to disable enemies on a will save you
can do better with Hiss of Sleep.
 Reverse GravityPHB: Trap land-bound foes in mid-air and let your allies throw rocks at them
until they die.
 SolipsismSC: Single-target save or suck with rounds/level duration. Hiss of Sleep is better, but
this is great for illusionists.
 Stun RaySC: Guaranteed stun, even if the the target passes the save. Arguably better than
Power Word Stun.
 TransfixSC: Hours per level duration and the targets only get extra saves if they're attacked.
Mass Hold Person doesn't hold a candle to this, and they're the same spell level and affect the same
targets. Weirdly, this doesn't affect humanoids larger than medium, so creatures can get around this
with Enlarge Person. I don't know why.

8th-level
 BlackfireSC: Nauseates the target, and does Constitution damage. This won't win the fight
immediately, but it has the ability to spread to other creatures. So long as your allies aren't affected
accidently (or on purpose; you could turn a summoned monster into a blackfire vehicle), this could
end an entire encounter with one spell. Still, I generally prefer spells which work a bit faster than this.
 Chain DispelSC: Technically not a win condition, but if you're facing groups of buffed enemies
this can make a big different. Targeted dispel magic on multiple targets with a +25 caster level bonus
cap.
 Greater Bestow CurseBoVD/CD: More effective than Bestow Curse, but has the same issue. Just
kill them.
 Greater ShoutPHB: Guaranteed deafness for a few rounds, which provides a small handicap to
spellcasters. The damage is poor, but an AOE stun can be fairly useful. Unfortunately, Greater
Shout has somatic and focus components, and depending solely on a verbal component is one of
Shout's only redeeming qualities.
 GutwrenchBoVD: Finger of death is a bit more direct, but this works on a different save. If it
works, you also get some temporary hit points. If it doesn't work, 10d6 damage is a nice consolation
prize.
 Irresistible DancePHB: 1d4+1 rounds of lowered AC, considerably lowered reflex saves, and
free attacks of opportunity for all of your melee allies.
 Last JudgementBoED: This only affects humanoids, monstrous humanoids, and giants so it's
really situational at such a high level. However, if you can find someone to use it on it's very
effective. Targets that pass the save still take 3d6 Wisdom damage, which is enough to incapacitate
many enemies and cripple Clerics and other Wisdom-based spellcasters. No somatic component, so
you can use it in a grapple.
 MazePHB: No save! Remove a creature from a fight for up to 10 minutes. If it has less than 10
Intelligence you're guaranteed the full 10 minutes. If you use this on a single foe, use the time it's
gone to fill the area with unpleasant things like caltrops and bonfires and blade barriers.
 Power Word StunPHB: The only redeeming quality of Power Word Stun is that it doesn't allow a
save. You can affect creatures with up to 50 more hit points than Power Word Petrify, but the 1d4
round duration means that you can only gurantee a single round of stun. You can probably do just as
well with Fleshshiver, which is two levels lower.
 Power Word PetrifyRotD: Better than Power Word Kill since it's a spell level lower but
incapacitates enemies just as well. Be careful about smashing petrified foes who are carrying loot.
 SunburstPHB: Permanent blindness. Undead take a ton of bonus damage, and if they're
vulnerable to bright light (natural sunlight, etc.) they're instantly destroyed. At this level there are
many undead which fall into this category (vampires, etc.) so this is a fantastic option.
 Wrathful CastigationSC: Single-target save or die. If they pass, they save again and are dazed
for one round on a failure, then take a penalty to will saves for rounds per level so you can try again
the next round with a better chance of succeeding. Reliable, effective, and awesome.

9th-level
 Black Blade of DisasterSC: Very cool, but straight damage (even at 2d6 per caster level) is
rarely the way a supremacy caster gets things done. Potentially useful in encounters with a huge
number of enemies, but even then you have plenty of AOE save-or-suck options.
 Blinding GloryBoED: In a 100 foot per caster level radius, all evil creatures are blinded. No save.
No spell resistance. Hours per level duration. Considering how important sight is, this shuts down
many encounters. Good luck hiding, but when everything that wants to kill you is blind I suppose
hiding doesn't really matter. There appears to be an error that never got errata; the spell lists the
area as "centered on you", but the spell has a listed range. I would assume that the range is a typo,
but an extremely permissive DM might let you throw this on another creature or an item.
 DetonatePHB2: If you're going for a save-or-die spell, Wail of the Banshee is better. The
secondary explosion is neat, but not very effective.
 Dominate MonsterPHB: The king of Enchantment spells. Days per level duration, and near-total
control over the target. They still get a save if you give them orders contrary to their nature (such as
attacking their allies), but a clever player can get away with a lot without allowing extra saves.
 Frostfell: AOE Flesh to Ice, and 1d6 per caster level cold damage if targets survive the save.
 ImprisonmentPHB: A fantastic spell to use on your campaign's BBEG. If you don't know their
name and a little bit about them by this level, you probably missed a lot of clues that the DM worked
very hard to create.
 Mass Hold MonsterPHB: Hiss of Sleep is better, affects a larger area, and is 2 spell levels
lower.
 MindrapeBoVD: Depends heavily on how permissive your DM is if you want to do anything other
than single-target permanent insanity.
 Power Word KillPHB: Power Word Petrify is just as effective, and one level lower.
 Reality MaelstromSC: A nice size AOE, especially thanks to the secondary area. Sending
enemies to another plane generally means that they're no longer a problem. At least, until they find a
way to catch up to you later. Don't use this around loot, or you'll end up sending treasure to a
random plane.
 Reaving DispelCAr: Technically not a win condition, but deserves an honorable mention. Walk
into a fight with an enemy spellcaster and steal all of their buffs. Note that the caster level cap is only
+20, so Chaining Dispel can be a better option if you've invested in caster level boosts. Chaining
Dispel also affects multiple enemies, which can be a huge advantage in many fights.
 ShapechangePHB: Good for a whole mountain of reasons. You can turn yourself into all sorts
of crazy things, and at this high level many enemies stop scaling with hit dice. Some extremely
powerful creatures have no more than 20 hit dice. Even some monsters from the epic level
handbook are options for Shapechange's 25 HD cap. You get to change forms every round for free,
and since the spell is based on Polymorph you heal every time you do so.
 Sphere of DestructionSC: Black Blade of Disaster is better for killing stuff. This is mostly a
utility spell for burrowing through walls.
 Time StopPHB: 1d4+1 rounds of doing whatever you want. Cast buffs, set up area control,
summon stuff, enclose enemies in stone/force/ice/whatever. Generally go nuts as long as you don't
directly target an enemy with something, but that's hardly a limitation with 10 levels of spells to draw
from.
 UtterdarkBoVD/LoM: Not nearly as effective as Blinding Glory thanks to the Ebon Eyes spell.
 Wail of the BansheePHB: AOE save or die. No hit dice limit, it doesn't affect you, and it only
has a verbal component so you can use it while grappled.
 WeirdPHB: Weird is a strange spell. It's primary goal is to kill stuff in an AOE. However, since
the spell is an illusion, a Fear effect, and it's Mind-affecting, many creatures will be immune or
resistant to it. For those creatures which aren't immune, two saves means that this spell is likely to
be resisted. But if a target manages to succeed on both saves, they're still stunned for a round. They
take a little bit of damage and some Strength damage, but the stun is the real winner here. One
round of guaranteed stun in an AOE is fantastic, and gives you plenty of time to set up all sorts of
other shenanigans.
 WishPHB: The most powerful spell in the game. The xp cost is brutal, bot for a very good
reason. If you don't know what to bring into a fight, bring Wish. If you go beyond the items in the
bulleted list of effects, be very cautious. DMs frequently interpret wishes "monkey's paw" style, so
they often have dire consequences. Keep the wording of your wishes literal, precise, and brief so
that there is as little room for interpretation as possible. "I wish that (the enemy's name) was in the
place in the multiverse most likely to result in his or her immediate and irrevocable destruction
excluding any location within one mile of my present location".
