I'll include here the spells you <em>must</em> have. As for the others, those are up to you. See, you <em>could</em> be learning new spells in the course of playing your character, if you wish to do so. As a charismatic channeler, you just "experiment with new spells" and make the Spellcraft roll once you've spent the appropriate amount of time working on it (this is the primary reason you want your ranks in Spellcraft maxed out). In game terms, that means you simply choose a new spell to learn, make the roll, and either you learn it or not. Each level, you can learn as many new spells in this manner as your casting ability modifier. If you do "teach yourself" a new spell, it costs XP (so that's the reason it's a choice).
