AD&D Spells -- Identifiying the Cheese

Earlier I wrote about how to fix under and over powered spells. This is a simple patch for OD&D or AD&D -- this post is aimed at AD&D. The first step is identifying which spells are awesome, and which suck.

Nazim's polls are a useful resource, I think, to help us identify OP and UP spells. I will link to them here. Future posts will discuss, level by level, what I think the cheese is and why.
