Wiz rounds are pretty much the wizard's grand single-player adventure, and 90% of the crew's interaction involves them going about their day until the moment the wiz materializes from thin air, stuns and kills them and vanishes into the ether. No amount of spell rejiggering is going to fix the fact that the crew is there pretty much to be cannon fodder on wiz rounds.

That said, I do like the ideas for Animate Dead and Knock here.

• Forcewall: When infused into a bag of the Salts, it creates Force Salts that (when placed) block projectiles and thrown items until cleaned away. When cast normally while near a line of ordinary or Force Salts, it causes the entire line to turn into a Forcewall instantly.
  
• Magic Missile: When infused into a bag of the Salts, creates Spark Salts that form into individual piles when placed and explode in a puff of smoke when stepped on, temporarily stunning the victim. Magic sandals prevent this.
  
• Blind: When this spell is cast on Magic Salts, it causes all of the connected salts to create a 3x3 field of pitch-black darkness.
  
• Warp: When this spell is cast on Magic Salts, anyone standing on any of the connected salts is instantly teleported to another location. Magic sandals prevent this.
  
• Ley Walker: When this spell is infused into a bag of the Salts, it causes them to become Travel Salts, which are invisible to anyone but a Wizard or Chaplain (however, they can still be cleaned by anyone if they know where the salts are). These allow you to travel along them Voltron-style for an indefinite period of time, but they create sparks the same as a Voltron does. If the tile you're Ley Walking in is cleaned while you're in it, you are brought out of Ley Walking and dealt major damage.
  
• Clairvoyance: When this spell is infused into a bag of the Salts, you gain Seeing Salts that give you a 3x3 radius of sight near them, through all walls, and they tell you when they've been cleaned ("You feel your incantations being disssipated in (area)") with a few-second cooldown.
  
• Animate Dead / Summon Golem: When cast while you and the target are centered within a ring of Magic Salts, cooldown is reduced by 10 seconds.
  
• Spell Shield: When cast while you are centered within a ring of Magic Salts, the shield lasts 25 seconds instead of 10. (You're still vulnerable due to salt washing and the 5 second gap, plus dislodgement and immobility risks.)
  
• Pandemonium: When this spell is infused into a bag of the Salts, it becomes a Light Grenade, cup of mugwort tea, or bee at random. When cast on a group of basic magic salts, it causes them to turn into regular salt and scattered glitter.
