In the world of Baldur’s Gate 3, spell choice is critical, especially for low-level adventurers just beginning their journey. Here are the top 10 low-level spells and cantrips that every aspiring sorcerer, wizard, cleric, or druid should consider:

1.Magic Missile – A first-level spell that creates three glowing darts of magical force. Each dart hits a creature of your choice that you can see within range, making it a reliable source of damage that never misses.

2.Mage Armor – This first-level spell is a must-have for any spellcaster wanting to boost their defense. It offers a protective magical force that grants an armor class of 13 + Dexterity modifier until the spell ends.

3.Guiding Bolt – A first-level radiant spell capable of dealing heavy damage and providing the next attack against the target advantage because of the mystical dim light glittering on the enemy until your next turn.

4.Healing Word – A versatile first-level spell which allows you to heal a creature within 60 feet as a bonus action, an essential tool for keeping allies in the fight.

5.Entangle – This first-level druid spell can turn the tide of battle by causing grasping weeds and vines to sprout from the ground in a 20-foot square, potentially restraining your foes.

6.Tasha’s Hideous Laughter – A powerful first-level enchantment that forces a creature to perceive everything as hilariously funny, incapacitating them if they fail a Wisdom saving throw.

7.Burning Hands – When up close and personal with enemies, this first-level evocation spell allows you to sweep flames across multiple targets in a 15-foot cone.

8.Shield – An invaluable first-level abjuration spell which grants an instantaneous boost to your armor class by 5 when hit by an attack or targeted by the magic missile spell.

9.Eldritch Blast – A must-have warlock cantrip known for its range and scalability with leveling up. It shoots out a beam of crackling energy toward a creature within range.

10.Thorn Whip – A druid cantrip perfect for crowd control since it deals damage and can pull creatures towards you, potentially into hazardous situations or away from allies.

These ten spells provide various benefits from damage dealing to protection and support roles on the battlefield. Master them, and you’ll set yourself on the path to glory in Baldur’s Gate 3.
