D&D: Underwhelming Spells That Would Be Better As Cantrips

In Dungeons & Dragons, there are many astounding spells available for magic casters, but there are also some that are generally less useful, and could make great cantrips to allow players to still play around with them and not waste a spell slot. Many of these spells could come in handy for certain situations, but may not be seen as necessary enough when weighed against the other spells which could be prepared instead. Since cantrips have the benefit of not needing to be prepared in advance or having to take up a spell slot it makes them much easier to employ, and frees players up for more innovative uses for them.
