Spells for a Wizard dip?

[Jeff the Green]

I'm working on a build that includes a bunch of dips, including a level of Wizard (spec. Conjuration, ban Abjuration and Necromancy) for Augment Summoning and abrupt jaunt. I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what spells to have.

Most of the time he'll have that single level, but he can expend some resources to treat himself as though he were level 3, so up to 2nd level spells, but still at a low caster level and DC. What spells are worth having at such a low caster level? It'd be starting at level 8ish.

Recommendations for cleric in the same boat (dipped for Extend Spell, DMM, and Extra Turning) would be appreciated too.

[Emperor Tippy]

Detect Undead, True Strike, Minor Wish, Detect Magic, most of the utility first and second level spells.

Why Tippy, what is this Minor Wish you speak of?

Bunches o' spells

I... buh... wow. That's thorough.

Thanks!

For prepared spells you get swift and immediate spells, so you can continue to do other things. If you're in armor they all have no somatic components too, so no spell failure. The thing is immediates get in the way of abrupt jaunt so that leaves only swifts. Beyond that you get scrolls and wands of just about everything. Scrolls have spell failure in armor if that matters, wands don't. Get 20-30 different level 1 scrolls of all the utility things, with 2-4 copies of some. A good wand is invisibility because it's spammable on the whole party.

Swift level 1-2 spells:
accelerated movement:SPC, only for skill-based movement, unfortunately
blade of blood: PHB2, for weapons
blades of fire: SPC, for weapons
bladeweave: SPC, for weapons
blockade: CS, amazing crowd control in tight dungeons
blood wind: SPC, for natural weapons
breath flare: SPC, for breath weapons
critical strike: SPC, for weapons
daggerspell stance: SPC, for daggers
lesser energy surge: PHB2, for weapons even on allies
swift expeditious retreat: SPC
swift fly: SPC, oh heck yes
golem strike: SPC, sneak attack constructs
guided shot: SPC, no ranged distance penalties
stretch weapon: PHB2, reach
suffer the flesh: MoE, CL6-8 is nice on your mage armor or false life, combine with lesser rod of extend spell
Wraithstrike: CA, ah the famous brokenage

Well, I also have DMM Quicken with around 40 turn attempts, so swift and immediate action spells aren't as useful on this character as they might be, and it includes Mystic Wanderer for Charisma to AC while unarmored, so no worries about ASF. That list is also helpful, thank you.
