What 4th-level spells should any Wizard have?

Zap zap zap you're dead!

And soon to be soul eating undead! Dying to negative levels is soo cruel it's funny.

Er, enervation is negative levels, not energy drain.

I'd put Enervation top of my list... even more so for a sorcerer than a wizard.

No save! Stackable! Empowerable!

That's 5th level, not 4th

@Aurendil welcome to the boards, hope you stay and play around. You responded to a 2004 thread and while I did not look things up Evervation might have been 4th level back in 3e days. We certainly do not mind arguing discussing old topics. I was looking at all the people picking Stoneskin in the OP and was wondering why people pick it in 5e since I feel it is so much nerfed from older editions. Then I noticed the age of the thread.

I saw it and was wondering about some of the spells when I looked at the tags and realised it was pathfinder and then looked at the date. I voted any as I seem to have missed it first time around.

in order my favorite first spells to get.

dimensional anchor
globe of invulnerablity lesser
make whole (for when your spell book is burned to ash)
dimension door
symbol of laughter
any wall spell

everything after that is icing.

The best second level spell is See Invisibility, which has a range of sight and a duration of 10 minutes per level.
For that reason I did not select Greater Invisibility as one of my best spells at that level.

Thanks for pointing out, hadn't realized

Since "any wizard" includes sized small wizards, Dimension Door loses a lot of usefulness and really needs to be considered in the context of the question, not for just default medium sized wizards.
