I distrust Prismatic Spray. Some of its effects might be severe, but the severity depends on foe/s failing saving throws. Effects like "20 damage, save for half", "40 damage, save for half", "Save or be turned to stone/feebleminded/disintegrated" aren't that fearsome when you have a high-level enemy that makes its saving throws (and is perhaps immune to the nastiest effects). If you're a solo character, maybe you're going to move directly to firing off your Horrid Wiltings, which *will* hurt, and not waste time with bad things that *might* happen.

Now, if we have more than one mage, and we have someone who casts Greater Malison, things change a bit, but not much, I think.
