I think you could do with a direct attack spell so evards or enervation are good choices depending on if you want an area or single target spell which in turn depends on what you have covered with lower level spells

Having a character that died due to Evard's Black Tentacles, I'm think I'm leaning toward picking it. My DM really hates Web, but I don't think he'll dislike Evard's as much.Prism said:
I'll get two more 4th level spells the next time I level up, so then I can pick other things people have suggested (like Assay Resistance). I also like to clear non-PHB spells with my DM first.

I agree. However, a scroll of Stoneskin can prove quite the effective emergency option.Scion said:

If you are good aligned do NOT take enervation!

ENERGY DRAIN AND NEGATIVE LEVELS
Some horrible creatures, especially undead monsters, possess a fearsome supernatural ability to drain levels from those they strike in combat. The creature making an energy drain attack draws a portion of its victim’s life force from her. Most energy drain attacks require a successful melee attack roll—mere physical contact is not enough. Each successful energy drain attack bestows one or more negative levels on the opponent. A creature takes the following penalties for each negative level it has gained.
–1 on all skill checks and ability checks.
–1 on attack rolls and saving throws.
–5 hit points.
–1 effective level (whenever the creature’s level is used in a die roll or calculation, reduce it by one for each negative level).
If the victim casts spells, she loses access to one spell as if she had cast her highest-level, currently available spell. (If she has more than one spell at her highest level, she chooses which she loses.) In addition, when she next prepares spells or regains spell slots, she gets one less spell slot at her highest spell level.
Negative levels remain for 24 hours or until removed with a spell, such as restoration. After 24 hours, the afflicted creature must attempt a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 attacker’s HD + attacker’s Cha modifier). (The DC is provided in the attacker’s description.) If the saving throw succeeds, the negative level goes away with no harm to the creature. The afflicted creature makes a separate saving throw for each negative level it has gained. If the save fails, the negative level goes away, but the creature’s level is also reduced by one.
A character with negative levels at least equal to her current level, or drained below 1st level, is instantly slain. Depending on the creature that killed her, she may rise the next night as a monster of that kind. If not, she rises as a wight. A creature gains 5 temporary hit points for each negative level it bestows (though not if the negative level is caused by a spell or similar effect).
empatis is mine
You do not want to run the risk to accidentally create undead critters. As an evil guy yes take this spell, as a neutral guy, think about it and take precations.
phantasmal killer might be nice, as is charm monster,
in my opinion no mage can live without Scry.
give some thought to detect scrying, and if you use complete arcane, look at mass resist elements, and anticipate teleport.night as a monster of that kind. If not, she rises as a wight. A creature gains 5 temporary hit points for each negative level it bestows (though not if the negative level is caused by a spell or similar effect).
