Just FYI but those both originated in 1e. Chromatic Orb is in Unearthed Arcana (in a more broken version of the spell) and Ice Knife is from Oriental Adventures.Then there were ones which were "mostly helpful" like the Fighter, Wizard, and Thief ones. Wizard was another big one - we still use some spells from that - Chromatic Orb and Ice Knife particularly - and it really helped fill out a lot of stuff about Wizards in a very cool way.
What you want then is the Spell-to-Power Erudite.Going out on a limb here with the Psionic Wilder. I love playing wizards and the psionic "wizards" were much more versatile.
I almost said "1E - Cavalier." But as I had only allowed one NPC to be a cavalier in my campaign, I didn't. It was a great subclass--especially on horseback.1e- this is pretty tough, but I would say Paladin, esp. the Cavalier subclass version. The rp requirements were obnoxious (though not quite as bad as the Barbarian's), but you got a lot of goodies to make up for that.
