I'm going to be playing a barbarian in a mythic pathfinder campaign and I've been working on my character. I intend to get a legendary item (weapon) and I immediately noticed that you can make it intelligent. And then it can grant you spell like abilities.

This is awesome of course, and I must take it as often as I'm allowed. The question is, what are the best spells to use as spell-like abilities for a barbarian? The text of the ability is quoted below.


Spellcasting: This item allows its bearer to cast a limited number of spells as spell-like abilities. This ability can be taken more than once. Each time it's taken, the bonded creature gains 5 points to spend on selecting what spells the item can cast. A spell costs a number of points equal to its level (minimum 1). The bearer can then activate the item to use each spell-like ability once per day. By spending double the cost, the bearer can use each spell-like ability three times per day. All spells must come from the same class's spell list. No spell can have a level higher than the bonded creature's tier. The caster level for these spells is equal to double the bonded creature's tier. The save DC for these spells is equal to 10 + the spell level + the bonded creature's tier.

So nothing higher than 5th level, and they all have to come from the same class's list. It would also be good if they don't allow a save since I'm taking the superstition rage power.

Edit: Here are the rage powers and mythic abilities that I'm taking, since some of them negate certain spells (i.e. enlarge person and titan's rage don't stack).

That's not a bad idea, but I don't think it stacks with titan's rage.

True strike
Shield
Anything that cures mental debilitation
Haste
Fly
Teleportation stuff is always nice
Haste
There's one that gives a cumulative bonus with every successful attack. Natural rhythm for AC's, but I'm not sure what you use for a manufactured weapon. Juggernaut something?
Can't ever have enough fireball.
Actually, Sirocco is pretty boss, as it can bring flyers down, fatigue (possibly exhaust, can't remember) and deals area damage.
Greater invisibility, because why not.

Dimension Door! There's a fantastically fun build around the Dimensional Dervish line of feats, so if you have a few free feats I highly recommend it. If you want the mobility without the hassle, there's also Jester's Jaunt at 3rd level off the Bard list.

Since the Magus list gives lots of fun combat spells at lower levels than the Wizard/Sorcerer list, Magus might not be a bad list to choose. Magus-only goodies include Force Hook Charge, which pulls you to an enemy, and (Greater) Bladed Dash, which lets you run around the battlefield and attack everyone around you.
