Changing the "Caster beats Mundane" paradigm

[lesser_minion]

Okay. So let's remove Fireball from the PHB because you can burn stuff with torches, Mage Hand because people already have hands, Forcecage because walls are a thing...

You might think that that's absurd, but you could delete a lot of the wizard's spell list and still be able to make recognisable wizards, and the same goes for a lot of the other casters.
