Having taking a look through the spell list for both mage and priest spells I have come to the conclusion that not a single spell is useless.

And for those that say a spell is useless - here's a challenge, name a spell and I will prove that it isn't useless - EVERY spell in the game has a useful function so try to prove me wrong.

Infravision - useful for scouting if thief/ranger is not available.
Find Familiar - useful for mages that want more hp or a little backup.
Friends - ever had a mage with 10 cha going to Ribald buying tons ? That +6 cha would definately save you 20-40%.
Goodberry - good healing method for those that have no conventional or present means and have no potions.
Charm animal - ever charmed Guenywvar or a pair of mountain bears? that was useful.
Cure disease - especially useful when being diseased on the Deck of Many Things by that strength curse and not wanting to go all the way back to heal.
Shileagh - suprisingly good melee weapon for druids/clerics that want to damage golems etc.
Color spray - useful in Bg1 but with the spreading effect in BG2 that can effect 6 low level creatures its useful when in chateau irenicus.
Chill touch - overlooked for the greater Vampiric Touch or Harm, but on a mage with a low level can reduce thaco which would help against a low level but fighter that can hit you.
