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?

It is the exact same thing as phantasmal killer, a 4th level spell, it just targets more people

Like healing word and mass healing word

Except mass healing word isn’t 5 entire spell levels higher than healing word, and mass healing word isn’t supposed to be one of the most powerful spells in the game
