it's a good spell obviously, but I'm curious why this is.

Re: Servitor only knows one spell?

Apparently this change was made in December as part of the great magic redesign by ebering.

Positional magic ⭐️: Revise Spellforged Servitor
Servitor now takes the highest-level servitor spell available for player
users. The spell description indicates the spell the servitor will use.

This behavior could already be accomplished by a player by removing most
of their damaging spells and was a good idea. However the process of
modifying one's spell list introduced a variety of tedious incentives in
its interaction with amnesia.

Now that servitor takes only one spell, the spell list is adjusted
for players (for monsters, since the monster servitor takes every spell
this has no effect). The servitor prioritizes ranged targeted damage spells of
level 4 and higher, followed by clouds, followed by low level and short
range spells.

[Thanks to hellmonk for suggesting the servitor description display the
 spell to use and that the spell list be revised.]
