Description
Pros:
Overall:
One of the few cantrips that will deal damage. More useful in provoking/intimidating someone or testing resistances than actually dealing damage.
Recommended for Sorcerers?
No. You get only a handful of 0th level spells. Ghost Sound, Dancing Lights, Mending, Open/Close, Prestidigitation, Message, Detect Magic, Mage Hand - these are all more useful choices. You should have plenty of Magic Missile spells to deal damage.
Recommended for Wizards as an initial spell choice?
Automatic. Usually not worth memorizing, though no SR means it is better than the other damaging cantrip Ray of Frost.
Recommended as a scroll?
No. Don't bother.
