Good conjurer effects?

[Archade]

Hey all,

With Complete Mage out, I want to try to build a good character using the Master Specialist Prestige class, specifically a human conjurer.

Here's some bits I've come up with - if you could make some suggestions about spells, feats, equipment, and any other prestige classes (or classes) beyond 8th level I might have the character qualify for, I'd appreciate it.

Conj 1 - Spell Focus (conjuration), Augment Summoning, 1st level spells Hail of Stone, SM1
Conj 2
Conj 3 - Rapid Spell, 2nd level spells Invisibility, Melf's Acid Arrow (conj spell)
Conj 3 / Master Specialist 1 - Skill Focus (spellcraft, bonus feat), 2nd level spell SM2
Conj 3 / Master Specialist 2
Conj 3 / Master Specialist 3 - Leadership (imp cohort)
Conj 3 / Master Specialist 4
Conj 3 / Master Specialist 5
Conj 4 / Master Specialist 5 - Improved Familiar (imp) - 5th level spell Cloudkill (conj spell)

Wall of Stone is a good 5th level spell. Not only is it good battlefield control, it's an excellent construction spell.

Solid Fog is a freaking great for battlefield control. 20 ft radius spread, creatures trapped in it have their speed reduced to 5 ft, and their attacks are at -2 to hit and damage, and it can be made permanent
