I am confused about which spells show up in various sections in ACTIONS
Ray of Frost and Vampiric Touch show up as ATTACK. Cool. However, Mind Sliver (cantrip) and Tasha's Mind Whip (Level 2) do NOT show up there. Why not? They do damage, like the others.
Green Flame Blade is notated on my Dagger - cool - but I have to roll it under SPELLS. Fine.
In the OTHER section, it lists Mending (1 Minute Casting Time), Find Familiar (1 hour casting time), Identify (1 minute casting time). Why are those called out under ACTIONS? Those are literally all my spells that you cannot cast as an Action.
It lists Ritual Spells: Comprehend Languages, Detect Magic, Identify, Speak With Animals - but NOT Find Familiar?

Also you are misreading a lot of that part of the sheet. If you look at the action page of the sheet, it lists your actions, bonus actions, reations, and other (things that take more than 1A) because these are all actions by definition of the word action but do not fall into the Action game mechanic. Hence why those spells that take more than 1A are under other, where as things that take 1A are listed under the Action subheading, 1BA under the bonus action subheading, etc.
Also note that on your character sheet, under the spells section, you can click on any spell that does not appear under attack and click "customize" in the box/slideout that appears, and check the "display as attack" box. It will then show up under attacks.

tasha's mind whip and mind sliver require saving throws, not attack rolls.
I have a weird sense of humor.
I also make maps.(That's a link)
Good point.
