Jun 29, 2004 Yes, Glitterdust is very, very good, but against an invisible target it often does not help, unless you have a way to pinpoint its location. If you have, it's obviously better than See Invisible, but in general I prefer the latter for just being automatic. I don't really like Alter Self much in 3.5, in 3.0 it was my favorite 2nd level spell.

An expert DM could run 5e having never opened the DMG, and they'd do just fine. A novice DM could run 5e likewise and make a whole blundering mess but still make it fun if they're worth their salt as a DM. But the DMG gives you the information and assurances of what makes a 5e game a good 5e game.
2nd-Level Spells Summary Absorb-Prosperity: Acid Spray: You throw a small ball acid that explodes and rains acid upon your foes. Air Bubble: An object or creature in range is surrounded with a 2-foot-diameter sphere of clean, pure air for the duration, which suppresses water or unclean air.

Scorching Ray has amazing scaling (+2d6 per level), at some point it beats any other single-target spell in the game, if the spell doesn't just kill the target outright (Power Word Kill). Of course, that's assuming every ray hits; if you want to account for miss/save chance the math is going to get incredibly complicated and target-dependent.

A spell scroll bears the words of a single spell, written in a mystical cipher. If the spell is on your class’s spell list, you can read the scroll and cast its spell without providing any material Components. Otherwise, the scroll is unintelligible. Casting the spell by reading the scroll requires the spell’s normal Casting Time. Once the spell is cast, the words on the scroll fade, and it crumbles to dust. If the casting is interrupted, the scroll is not lost.

If the spell is on your class’s spell list but of a higher level than you can normally cast, you must make an ability check using your Spellcasting Ability to determine whether you cast it successfully. The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level. On a failed check, the spell disappears from the scroll with no other effect.

A Wizard spell on a spell scroll can be copied just as Spells in spellbooks can be copied. When a spell is copied from a spell scroll, the copier must succeed on an Intelligence (Arcana) check with a DC equal to 10 + the spell’s level. If the check succeeds, the spell is successfully copied. Whether the check succeeds or fails, the spell scroll is destroyed.
