View Full Version : Good CL-dependent non-transmutationspell of 3rd level?

What I'm searching for:

- a spell of third level (or lower)
- NOT a transmutation spell
- benefits from a high caster level (ideally not capped at CL 10)
- bonus points for being a Evocation, Illusion or Enchantment spell


Background:
Spell Versatility (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/specialistWizardVariants.htm#spellVersatility) lets you treat a non-transmutation spell as a trasmutation spell.
A character-in-planing is a Wizard 5/Red Wizard X that specializes in Transmutation (for reasons not important here), with Evocation and Enchantment as barred schools and Illusion as additional barred school due Red Wizard.
Red Wizard provides some bonuses for the specialized school, noteably a significant CL increase. There is also Tatoo Focus and Minor Shapeshift. Spell Versatility is a way to apply those bonuses to a non-transmutation spell and a way of getting a spell that would normally forbidden.

You said bonus points for being one of your banned schools. Did you mean, NOT one of the banned schools? Magic missile, acid arrow, and fireball all come to mind immediately. First, second, and third levels and not transmutation

He meant one of his banned schools, because things like the Conjuration orbs he can still prepare.

The question can be boiled down to "What's the best-scaling Evocation in spell levels 1-3?"
