Because I'm a big weenie.Spell Mastery: mage armor, for all-day protection; misty step, for constant teleportation.Signature Spells: sending, to keep in touch with people; and nondetection, again, because I am a big weenie.EDIT: Swapped out teleportation circle, which is too expensive (see    [MENTION=64790]AtomicPope[/MENTION]'s excellent analysis, below), for glyph of warding, just so that I can do a cheeseball heal-panic-escape-cure wounds trick. Also swapped out magic missile, which has unimpressive damage compared to fire bolt at level 20, for identify, because if wizards are a thing I have to assume magic items might be a thing. Also changed Spell Mastery (got misty step, which is fun, and dropped detect thoughts, which is kinda mean) and Signature Spells (got rid of counterspell, which isn't that useful 1/rest, in exchange for sending, which is potentially very useful on a short rest).</blockquote>
