And I feel we are under optimizing the spells to store in it. For spellcasters we have a druid, bard, wizard, paladin, ranger, and warlock. There's also a fighter, monk, and rogue. But as they do not have spells... Just curious what some ideal spells are, we currently just give him a level 3 hellish rebuke for a burst of damage. Thank you for your consideration.
