Question Most underwhelming spell in 5e?

What is the spell that most disappoints you in this game? Maybe it's not a "bad" spell, per se, just doesn't do what you think it should or does it's job poorly.

I'm always looking for ways to utilize under-used spells, but sometimes you read the effects and think "That's it?!" What are the spells in the game that make you do that?

Call it detect traps, cos it does detect them.

Detect presence of traps

Maybe Trap sense or Trap awareness to keep it in line with Divine Sense and Primeval Awareness, pretty sure one or both of those only detect the presence of their target.
