Hi!

Continuing a campaign with a new character as a lvl 6 bladesinger. I am making my spell list and I am wondering how big of a "must have" mirror image and Shadow blade are? Because I feel it clashes with my action economy having to use a BA for shadow blade which I want to use for bladesinging and an action for mirror image which I would probably use for a concentration spell and afterwards go in to attack.

But because Shadow blade is super flavourfull and strong and mirror image aswell (no concentration WAAUW). Any thoughts on this?

So I’ll be a lvl 6 bladesinger wizard in our ongoing campaign. As my lvl 6 wiz I can have up to 18 spells in my spellbook and by taking the fey touched feat at lvl 4 I get misty step and silvery barbs (1 free casting and always prepared).

As species I chose Eladrin for the fey step feature which allows me to teleport 4 times for free/longrest and it seems so much fun to combine with the bladesinger features as for two specific lvl 3 spells for boss battles: blink & cacophonic shield.

I also included some good rituals cause it feels so cool to be able to cast those for free ( + 10 min casting time ofcourse). I missed on unseen servant which must be fun though.

What I am asking is this: is my spell list balanced? where lie my strong points and where are my weaknesses? What spells would you prepare for the day? I know I didnt take spells like counterspell but that’s because I feel I have good defensive options and wanted to get more utility.

What are your suggestions??
