Best Arcane spells for a Cleric via Anyspell?

[Andras]

Anyspell and Grtr Anyspell let you cast up to a 2nd and 5th level Arcane spell respectively, but you have to have them written down in either a spellbook or scroll to memorize.

I'm currently 18th caster level Cleric, and plan on taking Anyspell 3 times (3,4,5 level domain slots) and Grtr Anyspell once.

What spells would you acquire?

False life is good too (1d10+10 HP is always useful) and vampiric touch is one of my favorite spells. But at 18th level most low level spells won't give you a significant power boost unfortunatley but I suppose even a small edge can help.

It would depend a lot on what you and your party need. If you already have a wizard in the party, then you could use it for self-only spells that the wizard can't cast on you (e.g. see invisibility or alter self) or for spells you might want to cast a lot of very quickly (e.g. buffs like greater invisibility or polymorph, or attack spells like scorching ray or cacophonic burst) so that you can have more casters firing at once.

If you don't have a wizard already, then it will probably be most useful for the kinds of things that clerics can't normally cast. Teleport, wall of force, greater invisibility, polymorph, all that good stuff.

One thing to keep in mind, though: As far as I can tell, the spell you end up with due to anyspell is actually an arcane spell, not a divine version of an arcane spell. Which means that you'll suffer the arcane spell failure chance from armor when casting the spells you get from anyspell.
