    My turn now.
    I'll be doing both Level 1 and 2. Level 1 for now.

    Level 1 High Tier

    Armor 5/5 (simply because is a mage best friend with its 8 hours duration)
    Magic Missile 5/5
    Chromatic orb 5/5 (I would give it a 6)
    Shocking Grasp 5/5 (while called Grasp in can hit from a distance)
    Burning Hands 4/5 (good against trolls, but pretty useless otherwise)
    Shield 5/5 (magic missile immunity, enough said)
    Grease 4/5

    Medium Tier

    Larloch's Minor Drain 3/5
    Sleep 2/5
    Protection from evil 3/5
    Chill Touch 2/5

    Lower Tier

    Infravision 0/5
    Identify 1/5 (I always have a bard in my party)
    Friends 1/5 (same reasons as above)
    Color Spray 1/5

    Spell lvl 1 and 2 that did at least something in my HoF run:

    lvl 1

    Summon Familiar 5/5 -> used once via scroll
    Shield 5/5
    Chromatic orb 5/5
    Identify 4/5
    Grease 3/5
    Friends 1/5 -> ok makes things less expensive, but to be honest there were no more then 5 items that I wanted to buy in the whole game..

    lvl 2

    Cat's Grace 5/5: my MVP for my human ranged thief dual, up to 20 dex and 21 with the +1dex gem
    Glitterdust 4/5
    Melf's Acid Arrow 4/5 -> THE troll solution
    web 3/5
    resist fear 2.5/5 -> almost useless but it was still a buff, I guess :p

    This tier rank is not so meaningful. But it's very interesting indeed.

    As there are 5 types of spells: Damage, Disable, Summon, Buff, Utility. I do think it's a better idea to rank the best spells within each category regardless of their spell levels.

    You can do it like this: (Damage as an example)

    S tier ( Fill Its Level with This ): Magic Missile, Skull Trap......
    A tier ( Better Have One Ready ): Burning Hands, Melf's Minute Meteor......
    B tier ( Usable at Times ): Melf's Acid Arrow......
    C tier ( Avoid at All Costs): Chill Touch.......

    (Disable)
    S tier: Chaos, Glitterdust, Slow......
    A tier: Web.......
    B tier: Grease, Colorspray......
    C tier: Horror, Contagion......

    That's an amazing idea ;) just add the lvl of the spell after name like glitterdust (2) and we are done!
