Works on swarms, too, which are a major pain at this level.Color Spray -- it's the new sleep. Very effective at ending fights (especially if you're a Gnome).Ray of Enfeeblement -- long-lasting penalty; great for boss fights.Silent Image -- Duration: Concentration !!! this spell shoots through schools. You can avoid fights very easily (so long as your foes haven't seen you yet) by putting a house between you and them. Or some trees. If you're actually creative, it can do even more than that.Mage Armor -- Got a monk in the party? Cast it on him before you do the dungeon.Mount or Ventriloquism or Charm Person or Animate Rope -- Utility. Pick one that you think will amuse you.- - - - -Stuff you'll want later:Grease -- never gets old, thanks to "SR: No" and "Balance Check to resist". How many ancient stone golems have ranks in Balance? That's right, none. It's the spell that keeps on giving.True Strike -- when you need to nail that sucker who's got concealment and a high deflection bonus with your lovely green disintegrate ray, and you need to do it now. Don't bother until you can Quicken it.Shield -- it stacks with your Bracers of Armor, and it stops magic missiles. Don't bother until you have nice Bracers of Armor.Magic Missile -- at level 7, it's the best 1st level spell. At level 9, it's even better than that. A staple.Unseen Servant -- what insane wizard in his right mind wouldn't take a spell that has "servant" right in the name? It's a winner.Protection from Evil -- Nice deflection bonus and immunities; keep it in reserve and cast on dominated Barbarian.Identify -- when you have magic loot.Cheers, -- N</blockquote>
