D&D 5E Mage the General Caster and Spells

[TaranTheWanderer]

Looking at the lists, what happens with spells that fill two roles, like control and damage. Black tentacles, for instance.

I also think getting rid of the Divine/Arcane sacred cow would go a long way to balance things. Putting buff and healing in their own list and allowing classes to grab them would be cool. I guess it would step on the toes of bards and druids if wizards could do some light healing but, then, just don’t give wizards access to that list.

I also think having more than 3 lists is important but having a list based on ‘role’ might be too much. Maybe just one or two extra groups. Like 5.

(I would personally love 10 or 15 groups with only a few spells per level and give each class access to 2 or 3 lists)

I really didn’t think I’d have time to try this but I’m self isolating. It’s boring. So I have time now.

I'm having problem separating them. so I just put them in the list the either feels most fitting or needs more spells. The list are temporary and I am hoping the community will go through them.

I originally had healing and buffs separate but there are way to few healing spells.

The original intention of the Mage class is to replace all other full casters.
