I’m playing a human wizard and for like 70% of the campaign, I was working with 2 spell slots constantly being used. One for dark vision and one for mage armor. Now I can cast mage armor without using a slot, so I’m only down one slot when we are traveling through the underdark. We have plenty of light sources, but we don’t use them because we don’t want to draw attention to ourselves.
Wizard with find familiar. Just have a bat or owl sit on your shoulder and use their senses (as an action) while traveling. It’s different in combat, but at least you save the spell slot.

I don’t like 5e familiars because they feel disposable. We use 3.5 familiars and it’s dope lol
