Treantmonk's Guide to Wizards: Level One Spells

Quick correction: I said that I thought Earth Tremor was purple for evokers but wrote in the text Orange for evokers. In truth, it's a very close call between purple and orange, but I had decided on orange when planning the video and then misspoke.
While we are on the topic of misspeaking, I called Catapult a "to hit" spell, though it is actually a saving throw spell.
