Take one level of bard. Its spells are arcane and has the cure wounds spells in its list. Then just buy wands.

They are not intended as replacing the clerical healing. They are suppodsed to be inefficient. Effecient healing comes from the cleric.Lord Tirian said:
The stich spells save lives, make combat a bit less lethal and discourage short duration buffs. Characters are encouraged to take a breather after a hard combat and lick thier wounds. Healing potions are also made much more valuable by these spells being available. The stitch wounds spells also mirror the "low healing" D20 settings. The Cauterize spell was borrowd from WHFRP and oozes flaming hot flavor.

Invoking a word of power over flame, you channel fire into a creatures wounds, sealing them shut as if the character had receive one point of magic healing. The pain is agonizing but your control of the flames normally prevents any harm from happening to the subject.
Only if some circumstance increases damage caused by this spell would any harm come to the subject.
A Being vulnerable to fire would suffer 1 point of damage from this spell rather than have their wounds closed.
This spell can be used to attack regenerating creatures that take normal damge from fire. Agaisnt those creatures, this spell converts up to the caster's level in nonlethal damage to lethal damage in addition to sealing their wounds. Such a creature can apply spell resistance, and can attempt a Will save to halve the amount converted.[sblock=Stich Wounds spell tree.]Stitch Light Wounds

Or you could play a Generic Spellcaster from UA variant book. You can be arcane and still pick and choose spells from whatever list you choose. You cast like a Sorcerer, so you have a smaller spell list. But you could, for example, and CLW and Magic Missile as your 1st level spells (and they would both be considered arcane, or divine if you prefered).
