Glitterdust is an area of effect blindness spell AND it also nerfs invisibility (possibly displacement as well, YMMV). This is a second level spell. It doesn't seem that unrealistic to me to take away...

Quick question about glitterdust - while the spell continues, do new targets who move into the cloud area also get blinded? Or does the dust settle and only affect those who were in the area?

You could try pyrotechnics. Have a companion chuck a alchemist fire into the room and hold your action to cast. Or you could just make up a new spell...I based this on color spray with a few...

Well, there's flare, that cantrip. But that only hits one target.Well, flashbangs not only make a bright light, they also make a loud sound, hence the name flash + bang. They are used to disorientate...

I dont see a much of a problem with that one. range is ok. small radius is ok. IM not sure why dazzled counters the blinding effect. It seems to be squarely in the 2nd level.
