Hi all. I would like some advice around spell selection for my spore druid. We're running the 5e 2014 rule set, not 2024
For context, we are about to hit level 4, and I'm thinking of taking the magic initiate feat - Wizard, with Find Familiar for the level 1 spell, and Booming Blade for 1 of the cantrips. Originally, I was thinking of taking Green Flame Blade for the other cantrips, but looking at the other cantrip options, now I'm thinking more towards Mind Sliver, as the debuf it gives might be helpful for when I'm trying to get my Halo of Spores reaction off, but I'm not sure if the trade off is worth it being that it's ranged what with the spores druid drifting into the frontline more frequently, and already having the Chill Touch cantrip and Thorn Whip cantrip for range options.
Am I overthinking this? Should I just go with my original plan of Booming blade and green flame blade? Or is there another cantrip I could go with?
Thanks :)
