Unless you are planning on using a half dozen or more slots just on a very, very loud knock spell during the exploration portion of the adventuring day, in which case you are losing combat ability.Find traps finds them, but is instantaneous, which means you are wasting a lot of slots finding nothing unless you get very luck or already know the trap is there.  You also don't know exactly where it is or how it's set off, and it doesn't disarm it for you. This is crappier than a rogue, but better than nothing I guess.Gift of Alacrity is a combat spell, so it shouldn't be in this section.  I'm also not sure you can pick it outside of that setting.Disguise Self is social, not exploration, but is decently good for a short amount of the adventuring day.StealthInvisibility is good, but you aren't using it while you explore because you are concentrating on Arcane Eye, which has eaten up all of your 4th level slots for just a few hours of exploration.  The rogue stealths all day long.Darkness is more of a combat spell, but can be used for stealth sometimes.  It's also going to end those Arcane Eyes you keep having to cast.SocialCharm Monster is combat, not social, since you will be in combat because of it and it won't actually get the monster to do much for you. It's a monster and likely does not understand you or is likely not smart enough to do what you want.  It's primarily a combat control spell.  In those situations that are actually social, it's going to be an enemy that might be coming for you after that hour is up.  You also can't cast it because of those pesky Arcane Eyes that you have cast. Also, the rogue can do the same thing with a good persuasion roll and without the monster coming after you in an hour.Suggestion is useful, but you're using up more an more combat spells.  Your lower level slots are not going to be sufficient for all the shield spells you will need on the front lines and you don't have enough higher level slots due to Arcane Eye, Charm Monster, Suggestion and Haste.In short, you've created a wizard trying hard to be a very subpar rogue.</blockquote>
