This says a lot about spells in 5e.
Yes, there are many great choices, but one choice is usually greater than others.

Come to Pathfinder, where all the spells are kind of okay I guess.

Pathfinder 2 is even worse in that regard. You have a few kind of okay ones and then a bunch you’ll essentially never use. The price of Pf2s strife for “balance”.

It’s probably my biggest pain point with the system. I have a buddy who only likes to play magicians. She’s miserable playing 2e because the cool evocative spells she gravitates towards just aren’t the narrow list of reliable, evergreen, and efficient spells that thrive in 2e’s ecosystem.
