			== Disintegrate ==
			The iconic [[Save or Die]] spell, Disintegrate is a high medium/low high-level spell (typically around 6th level out of 9) where the [[wizard]] points or looks at whatever they don't like and turns it to dust. Wham, bam, thank you ma'am. Now, there are ''some'' restrictions to keep this ability from being completely broken, the ability to annihilate enemies in one shoot has driven more than one DM batty. You can generally tell a 3e DM has seen some shit if they start twitching at the sentence "Empowered Expanded Disintegrate" (or whatever the [[metamagic]] was that turned a single-target spell into an AoE spell). And if that's not enough, Disintegrate also works on inanimate materials, making it a great way to [[Dungeon Bypass]] by just burning a hole through solid stone. Or steel. Or anything that isn't magic resistant, really.

			One of the ways older editions tried to discourage abuse of this spell, beyond boosting it to 6th level, is by giving it a pretty high if not automatic chance to also disintegrate most/all of the stuff that the target was carrying. Meaning any monster you killed with this spell ''didn't drop loot''. Of course, that angle was dropped from 3e onwards.

			Traditionally, Disintegrate is an all-or-nothing spell and thus has no damage type. In 4th and 5th edition, it instead became "merely" an attack that does a pretty high amount of [[Elemental Damage Types\|Necrotic]] damage. 4e did at least give it the "Ongoing" keyword, so it kept burning the foe with damage round after round until they made their saving throw.

			==Color Spray==
			Introduced in [[Dragon Magazine]] #12 as a new spell exclusively for the original [[Illusionist]] variant class of the [[Wizard\|Magic User]], Color Spray has s transcended its humble beginnings to become a mainstay in every [[Player's Handbook]] since. The spell creates a 15ft conical burst of brilliant colored light that overwhelms the minds of weaker creatures; this doesn't cause physical damage, but inflicts different kinds of status impairments; traditionally, it knocks foes unconscious, but some editions tweak the effect - the 5e version simply blinds whatever it hits, for example. It's traditionally a great way to take down swathes of low-level mook monsters, such as [[goblin]]s or [[kobold]]s, as they tend to be particularly vulnerable to its mechanics and the impairment it induces leaves them as easily cleaned up by the party's [[fighter]].

			==Grease==
			Conjures a great puddle of slippery, slimy oil on the ground; anything entering this puddle risks falling over, and is forced to move more slowly, which is great for crowd control or keeping a single bigger monster vulnerable and defenseless; [[ogre]]s and [[troll]]s in particular tend to have a bad time with this spell. In older editions, at least, the puddle is explicitly oil, so you can set it on fire and create an el-cheapo fireball effect.

There is also a more powerful version of this spell called prismatic wall which creates a barrier with multiple layers that each have the same effects and each have a different way of breaking them~~.

One of the first spells wizards learn. The damage it does is pretty small, but it is extremely useful because it never misses and since it does force damage, very few enemies in the game are immune or resistant to it. Exactly ''how'' useful it is depends a lot on your edition; in earlier editions, where wizards get fewer spells, it's largely pointless until later in the game and you're better off taking spells like Sleep, Color Spray or Grease instead as a 1st level wizard. Later editions make it drastically stronger.
