Spells not yet in the game that should be.
Spiritual Weapon is the main stand out that I can think of. For Clerics this is their bread and butter for damage, and gives them a reliable use for their bonus action that isn't Healing Word.

Toll the Dead: This would be an alternate damage cantrip for clerics, and gives them a stat to attack that isn't Dex. To be fair this is not PHB content.

Lightning Bolt: Iconic Wizard spell that ISN'T Fireball. This might be coming given that the Game Awards trailer had a clip of Gale casting it.

Slow: As OP as Haste is, this is just as devastating on enemies.

Any other spells you feel should be in the game?

More accurate to say no expansion content is promised.

Shield spell!!! They can't get reactions right and are avoiding it like the plague. I'm rolling through the Solasta DLC and it's wonderful having all those reaction spells. Counterspell is an awesome one too. How about a fly spell that is actually making the character fly? Instead of whatever they are calling the current 'fly' spell.

Shield is also very important. Though the way the game handles some types of rolls is bewildering at times.

Counterspell is in the game, no?

I agree with shield. I am sure lightning bolt will make it.

I wish the blade cantrips would go in (along with a fix for sneak attack) so I can make my high elf swashbuckler.
Lightning Bolt and Slow will be added.

Danse Macabre is super underrated and awesome.

Geas, Rope Trick, and Spider Climb are going to be difficult to effectively replicate/model in BG3's engine, much like a proper fly.

Invisible Servant (I think you mean Unseen Servant) falls into the 'nifty utility spell that doesn't really have a purpose in a crpg' category (and given BG3's game engine and how it treats summonable entities, likely to be super exploitable in an unintended way in combat).

Tenser's Disc almost falls into that category, except I can imagine the game engine basically making it effectively a floating storage space that follows you.

A lot of these aren’t original PHB they’re from like sword coast or whatever it is.

I wish theyd add that specific expansion as DLC because my favorite build is an Arcana Cleric variant human who takes magic initiate Druid.

Take that Shillelagh on your cleric, eh?

I'm personally still hoping for the "Vaccinated" Feat, since it is the most upvoted homebrew on DNDBeyond

Feats aren't spells, read the OP again.

So your comment was an attempt to derail the thread with an off topic comment? 🤔😏

Conceivable, but not actually.
