Mage Armour - does this really need explaining? The core defence, and a bonus for monks in your party too. Magic Missile - because sometimes there's no match for auto hitting magical force damage. 2nd: Rope Trick, False Life, GlitterdustRope Trick - the emergency sanctury for the party. False Life - free hit points which last basically all day, this is always going to be worth a slotGlitterdust - When fighting creatures that see, this is an amazing combat spell, even when your opponents are visible. 3rd: Dispel Magic, HasteDispel Magic - Great utility spellHaste - An excellent party buff, especially in a fighter-heavy party. 4th: Evard's Black Tentacles, Dimension Door, ScryingEvard's Black Tentacles - can end a combat in one easy step. A very powerful 4th level spellDimension Door - Instant escape from the tricky situationScrying - Because every wizard should5th: Teleport, PasswallTeleport - Travel made easy, and situational escapePasswall - From time to time walls can be pesky6th: ContingencyContingency - Sometimes things don't go to plan7th: Limited WishLimited Wish - Sometimes they really don't go to plan8th: CloneClone - When Contingency and Limited Wish have failed. 9th: WishWish - When is a Wish not useful?There's not a lot of pure offence because there's always an alternative spell out there, so there aren't many that I consider essential.</blockquote>
