If you use the Enlarge/Reduce on a Rune Knight Fighter when they use Giant’s Might, you make them go from Large to Huge, or if they’re at Level 18, from Huge to Gargantuan. That means you are big enough to grapple a Tarrasque or Ancient Dragon. That just strengthens how good your suggestion about using Enlarge/Reduce on the Fighter/Barbarian/etc. lol
I remember one time where magic mouth lead to the downfall of a thieves guild. The party wizard took the spell for funzies and began creating magic mouths on small fake coins that had the function of screaming alert repeatedly whenever someone other than the owner would as much touch their gold pouch. He would sell them for 30gp, and after a while, some nobles would employ him to make house alarms, and safe alarms. In time, the thieves guild sent assassins to kill the wizard, and after they failed and we took the case to the town mayor, we took part on their plan to wipe the guild for good. It was a good plot that started with a pretty underestimated spell
Note for Immovable Object - it does specify that the target object weigh no more than 10 pounds, and this value doesn't scale with up-casting. So, the plate armor example is a bust, but you could cast it on a rogue/archer's leather armor or bow, or the enemy caster's robes or arcane focus/component pouch, to just as effectively shut an enemy out of combat.
Continual Flame is an amazing ILLUSION spell that's permanent. A cloak that makes you appear to be on fire is excellent for distraction or intimidation. But RAW there's no size requirement, meaning you can make an entire building appear to burst into flames instantly. People who compare it to Light are failing to imagine the game off the grid.
I would argue that wings already push and pull against the air, and are therefore not bound by levitate's restrictions.
Re: Dragon Breath, an Order of Scribes Wizard can change the damage type. So you can have pretty much any type of dragon breath (force, radiant, etc.).
Levitate and Dragons Breath are amazing I swung an entire fight by casting levitate with my clockwork soul sorcerer. Twin spelled it, used restore balance and took two dangerous minions out of the fight on the first round. Dragons breath on a Scribes wizard is fun too. Nothing quite like letting the barbarian shoot hammers out of his mouth causing bludgeoning damage.
I've tried using Levitate and a rope to maneuver our rogue in and out of combat, like a whip with kleptomania.
Please continue the "Underrated But Amazing Spells" series. You've really got me wondering what other sorts of exploitable insanity we're overlooking at every spell level!
"You see those cultists over there, made of the cheese" said the forest gnome sorcerer, directly after giving the rats dragon's breath
magic mouth could be cast on a single coin in a treasure chest
Didn't realise how heavy plate armor was, but you can do the same trick at
Compiles a list of all the spells I'd want to take on a future wizard character.

Immovable Object - "Check with your DM," because often, attended objects get hand-waved into being invalid targets for spells like this. That said, "cook and book" also relies on being able to target worn armor (with
My party combined silence, levitate and hunger of hadar on an enemy I prepared for weeks.
I've been using the dragon's breath familiar combo for a bit now, it's actually even better than at first or second glance because it's up-casting potential is insane; it increases by 1d6 per breath per level up-cast, but since each round of combat is 6 seconds, and the spell lasts for 60, then you're actually up-casting by 10d6 per level, thus the total possible output (if you're insane and use it at the 9th level) is 100d6 (and I'm a DnD noob, so I'm sure that there are ways to make it even stronger)!

Magic mouth is one of my favorite spells right now. My party is helping to get our cleric elected to the high council, and i spent a week going through the town casting it on random buildings foundation stones so when 3 people walk buy a campaign message plays
