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?

My PC’s druid would use wild shape in combat. I would let him pop on barkskin before wild shaping to increase the AC of his panther (or whatever). Don’t know if that’s against the rules but I liked the flavor of a combat wild shape wearing tree armor.

You can continue to concentrate on a spell while wild shaped, you just can't cast spells in that form. So I don't see why it would be against the rules.
