What 3.x spells would be fun on a PF wizard? (Esp. at lower levels?)
Am looking for stuff that's fun or powerful. Definitely does not have to be similar to what's already listed.
I have a monstrous PF character who is taking their first level of wizard.
The GM has okayed the research of brand 3.x spells as custom PF spells.
Had the idea that maybe ALL this character's spells could be custom spells.
The character is an aberration made by ancient wizards for magical espionage. The idea is that he's learned from his job and is headed down the path to arcane power.
The higher spell levels are easy, Awaken Sand, Smokey Confinement, etc.
But what about the lower spell levels?
Researching new spells costs 1 week and 1,000gp per level of the spell plus a Spellcraft or Knowledge Arcana check DC 10+ spell level.
(some non arcane spells have been assigned a +1 higher spell level on the below lists)

And here's a selection provided by Coidzor that could be of interest.
You might not still be playing the character after a bit over a year, but I stumbled upon one of your threads due to a discussion on reddit about storing and transporting constructs discreetly.
So I was inspired to spend a little time looking through my favorite school and subschool of magic, Conjuration (Creation) for spells that seemed interesting, good, or did something that just didn't happen in PF 1E (as far as I could recall offhand).
They're not all Wizard spells, though, and I probably didn't sort through all the Conjuration (Creation) spells, just the ones that imarvintpa listed with either instantaneous durations or long durations.
I didn't want to necro the thread and get it locked, but maybe some of these will be interesting enough to edit in for posterity.
Acid Breath (Spell Compendium[SpC])- Sor/Wiz 3 - Conjuration (Creation) spell with Instantaneous duration creating acid. Compare with Acidic Spray and other similar PF 1E spells.
Acid Splash (PHB) - Sor/Wiz, Duskblade, Warmage 0th - Conjuration (Creation) spell with Instantaneous duration creating acid, lacks the caveat that it disappears that the PF 1E version added.
Apocalypse from the Sky (Book of Vile Darkness ) - Corrupt 9 - Conjuration (Creation) spell that "levels forests" and "sends mountains tumbling down" across a massive 170+ mile radius. Great for just destroying an area and everything in it. Expensive due to costing an artifact. OTOH, great for destroying artifacts.
[B]Beget Bogun (SpC) - Druid 1 - Conjuration (Creation) spell with Instantaneous duration that creates an intelligent, homunculus-like construct for 25 XP (125 gp converted to Pathfinder). Retrain them to have the Gunsmithing feat and each one pays for 3.2 more of themselves every day they work.
Black Bag (BoVD) - Assassin, Sor/Wiz 1 - Conjuration (Creation) [Evil] spell that creates torture implements that last for 24 hours. Can be used as a temporary Bag of Holding for evil magic items.
Blast of Flame (SpC) - Sor/Wiz 4 - Conjuration (Creation) spell that pseudo-replicates Fireball as a Cone, but with no SR.
Blast of Sand (Sandstorm) - Druid, Sor/Wiz, Sand 4 - Conjuration (Creation) spell with Instantaneous duration that creates sand. Also a Cone-shaped AoE blast with no SR that's good against objects, too.
Bombardment (SpC) - Druid 8 - Conjuration (Creation) spell with Instantaneous duration creating boulders that turn into 5-ft deep dense rubble. Also a decent damage, small-radius AoE blast + control spell with no SR.
Column of Ice (Frostburn) - Druid 3, Sor/Wiz 4 - Conjuration (Creation) [Cold] spell with Permanent duration that creates a column of ice. Compare with the PF 1E spell Ice Spears. This is thicker and taller, though.
Cometfall (SpC) - Druid, Cleric 6 - Conjuration (Creation) spell with Instananeous duration that creates 400 pounds of rock and ice that become dense rubble after dealing OK damage in a small AoE blast with no SR.
Create Crossroads and Backroad (Magic of Faerun) - Druid 7 - Conjuration (Creation) spell with Instantaneous duration that basically creates two linked portals. Expensive at 3500 XP cost (17,500 gp if converted).
Create Magic Tattoo (SpC) - Sor/Wiz 2 - Creates a 24 hour tattoo conferring a variety of effects at a cost of 100 gp.
Deadfall (SpC) - Druid 8 - Conjuration (Creation) spell with Instananeous duration, creates a large amount of dead wood ("a huge tower of logs and branches") in addition to being a decent-sized AoE blast with no SR.
Death by Thorns (BoVD) - Corrupt 7 - [Death, Evil] spell that acts as a delayed Save or Die for up to 3 creatures.
Drown (BoVD) - Sor/Wiz 3 - Save or suck that becomes a Save or Die if they fail several saving throws. Unlike other spells that offer multiple saves, though, they're staggered to every 2 rounds instead of every round. Also permanently creates the water. Compare with Aboleth's Lung.
Drown (SpC) - Druid 6 - Save or die that gives other creatures 1-2 rounds to intervene to save it. Compare with Aboleth's Lung.
Extract Drug (BoVD) - Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sor/Wiz 1 - Conjuration (Creation) spell with Permanent duration that creates 1 dose of a drug.
Frostbite (Frostburn) - Cleric 5 - Conjuration (Creation) spell with Instantaneous duration that chills the air in an area. It's a not that great multi-target blast with Dex damage, but it is interesting for the possibilities it raises for climate control, especially in items.
Genesis (SRD) - Sor/Wiz, Creation 9 - Create a demiplane that's larger and has more customization than the 3 Create Demiplane spells in PF 1E. The 5000 XP cost is expensive when converted to 25,000 gp, though.
Grasping Wall (Complete Scoundrel) - Sor/Wiz 3 - Hands burst forth from a wall that help allies climb and entangle enemies. Dual-purpose Control and Utility spell.
Hail of Stone (SpC) - Sor/Wiz, Warmage, Wujen 1 - Conjuration (Creation) spell with Instantaneous duration that creates stones as a weak damage, small radius AoE blast with no saving throw and no SR. Compare with PF 1E's Stone Call and Expeditious Construction spells.
(Leomund's) Hidden Lodge (SpC) - Bard, Sor/Wiz 5 - (Leomund's) Secure Shelter but camouflaged and with a 24 hour duration. Can't be seen from further away than 30 feet.
Hurtling Stone (Heroes of Battle) - Druid 4 - Permanently creates a 50-pound stone and uses it as a sort of meh blasting spell with a Line shape and no SR.
Ice Castle (Frostburn) - Sor/Wiz 7 - Creates a castle of ice and snow that lasts for 24 hours. Also includes some additional magical defenses. Will melt away if ambient temperatures are above freezing, though.
Ice Darts (Frostburn) - Bard, Sor/Wiz 2 - Conjuration (Creation) [Cold] spell with instantaneous duration. Ranged touch attacks dealing OK damage with no save and no SR.
Ice Knife (SpC) - Assassin, Sor/Wiz, Wu Jen, Warmage 2 - As Ice Darts except a single projectile, has a save and SR works against it.
Icelance (SpC) - Druid, Sor/Wiz 3 - Also creates permanent ice, but more than either Ice Darts or Ice Knife. Better damage with a good bonus to hit with a ranged attack roll. Compare with Ice Spears which should still create more ice as well as Ice Slick, both from PF 1E.
Laogzed's Breath (Serpent Kingdoms) - Cleric, Sor/Wiz 3 - Stinking Cloud but Instantaneous Conjuration (Creation) and effective for 10 rounds, so double the duration at minimum CL, but doesn't scale with increased caster level.
Lava Missile (Serpent Kingdoms) - Cleric, Druid 2 - Conjuration (Creation) [Fire] variation on Magic Missile that permanently creates lava (though it won't stay lava).
Lava Splash (Serpent Kingdoms) - Druid 4, Cleric 5 - Instantaneous Conjuration (Creation) spell. AoE lava blast with weak damage but no SR.
(Leomund's) Billet (Heroes of Battle) - Bard, Sor/Wiz 5 - A simple barracks, heating, and the minimum requirements of food (bread & gruel) for 40 people(Enough for 8 of the 5-man Teams of Soldiers from the Downtime system). A modification of Secure Shelter.
Magnetic Pulse (Far Corners of the World: Mountains) - Druid 4, Sor/Wiz 4 - weak AoE blast with a good radius that also disarms metal weapons, trips metal armor users, bull rushes metal creatures, etc.
Malevolent Miasma (SpC) - Sor/Wiz 2 - Weak, OK-radius AoE blast that deals nonlethal damage with no SR, but does have a saving throw. Compare with Admonishing Ray.
(Mordenkainen's) Capable Caravel (Stormwrack) - Sor/Wiz 8 - Creates a ship with extradimensional space for 1 day per 2 CL. Compare with PF 1E's Summon Ship + Magnificent Mansion + Unseen Crew.
Mudslide (Stormwrack) - Druid, Sor/Wiz 6 - Instantaneous Conjuration (Creation) spell that permanently creates mud & water and is explicitly compatible with Transmute Mud to Rock. Also a no SR AoE blast with weak damage and control.
Nauseating Breath (SpC) - Cleric, Sor/Wiz 3 - Cone AoE debuff spell with no SR that semi-replicates Stinking Cloud, but doesn't deny that terrain to allies on their turns.
Node Genesis (Champions of Ruin) - Sor/Wiz 9 - Permanently creates a Node of power of one of various types that increases in power as it expands over the course of several years. Is part of its own little subsystem with the Node Spellcasting feat, though. Also expensive at 5000 XP cost (25,000 gp converted).
Obedient Avalanche (SpC) - Cold, Sor/Wiz 9 - Instantaneous Conjuration (Creation) spell that creates an avalanche of snow that persists indefinitely and will melt and become permanent water. Also a moderate combination AoE blasting spell and control spell with a good radius.
Orb of Acid/Cold/Fire/Force/Sound (SpC)- Sor/Wiz, Warmage 4 - Single target, ranged touch attack, no SR blast spells with decent to good damage. All of them except for Force also carry a debuff rider effect. Due to their nature as Instantaneous duration Conjuration (Creation) spells, they can be cast outside of an Antimagic Field and then thrown into it and still work.
Lesser Orb of Acid/Cold/Fire/Sound (SpC)- Sor/Wiz, Warmage 1 - As the Orb spells, except with slower scaling of damage and no debuff rider effects.
Otyugh Swarm (SpC) - Pestilence 9 - A 7 days or 7 months of minions spell, but with Otyughs.
Pavilion of Grandeur (SpC) - Creation 9 - Creates a large extradimensional space with prodigious quantities of food for the better part of a month. Compare with Magnificent Mansion.
Quill Blast (SpC) - Druid 5 - AoE blast + weak debuff that increases in damage the larger the enemies are. Also permanently creates quills.
Raise Ice Forest (Frostburn) - Druid 7 - Permanently create trees made of ice, but only within areas of frostfell (basically permafrost regions, IIRC).
Raise Volcano (Far Corners of the World: Volcano) - Druid 9 - An expensive, Concentration-based spell with an increasingly large AoE blast and control effects. I believe the magma and ash produced by it will persist after the spell's duration ends, but it's probably ambiguous enough to be GM call territory.
Runic Marker (Champions of Valor) - Cleric 4 - Creates a small stone pillar with a message on it and a glyph of warding that lasts until the glyph of warding is discharged.
Sarcophagus of Stone (SpC) - Cleric 6 - Control spell that is also a save or die spell for creatures unable to escape it. Also permanently creates a sealed stone sarcophagus.
(Shalantha's) Delicate Disk (Lost Empires of Faerun) - Sor/Wiz 6 - Creates a disk that stores a spell of up to 5th level indefinitely for 200 gp.
Slime Hurl (Champions of Ruin) - Initiate of Gahunadaur 5 - Permanently creates green slime in the form of 3 ranged touch attacks. Compare with Touch of Slime from PF 1E, which does not persist.
Stonehold (SpC) - Druid 6 - Creates a decentish magic trap (that can't be disarmed!) that lasts for days and covers a fairly large area.
Sudden Stalagmite (SpC) - Druid 4 - Creates a permanent Stalagmite that could become a small column or pillar depending upon ceiling height. Combination (usually) single target blast and control spell with no SR. Compare with Ice Spears, which can similarly be used to create a sort of palisade over time, but only in cold environments, and also causes damage in a similar way.
Swamp Lung (SpC) - Druid 7 - Compare with the versions of Drown. Can't kill on its own, but it is a Save or Lose and a way to use disease.
Tunnel Swallow (SpC) - Sor/Wiz 6 - An AoE blast and control spell designed for relatively narrow tunnels and corridors.
Unseen Crafter (Races of Eberron) - Artificer, Bard, Cleric, Sor/Wiz 2 - Makes a crafter that lasts for days and uses the caster's ranks and spellcasting ability modifier. I believe it can also be used to create assistants that will be very likely to succeed at using Aid Another to boost a Craft check, too. Compare with Unseen Servant + the Magic Trick feat. Also just straight up casting Fabricate.
Wall of Eyes (BoVD) - Sor/Wiz 7 - Permanently creates a wall of eyes that the caster can see through at-will. Also has a Hold Monster rider effect on creatures that touch it that basically acts as a Save or Die.
Wall of Salt (Sandstorm) - Cleric, Druid, Sor/Wiz 4 - Permanently create a wall of rock salt. Basically a weaker Wall of Stone that's vulnerable to water and lower level, aside from using it to break WBL by producing thousands of gold pieces worth of salt even at minimum CL. http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?514122-Applications-of-Wall-of-Money-I-mean-Salt-Wall-of-Salt
(Zajimarn's) Avalanche (Magic of Faerun) - Sor/Wiz 9 - A combination blast and forced movement spell with a customizable AoE. Also notable for having a CL cap that is over 20 by default. Also creates ice, snow, and slush that persists after the spell ends.

Icelance (SpC) - Druid, Sor/Wiz 3 - Also creates permanent ice, but more than either Ice Darts or Ice Knife. Better damage with a good bonus to hit with a ranged attack roll. Compare with Ice Spears which should still create more ice as well as Ice Slick, both from PF 1E.
Laogzed's Breath (Serpent Kingdoms) - Cleric, Sor/Wiz 3 - Stinking Cloud but Instantaneous Conjuration (Creation) and effective for 10 rounds, so double the duration at minimum CL, but doesn't scale with increased caster level.
Lava Missile (Serpent Kingdoms) - Cleric, Druid 2 - Conjuration (Creation) [Fire] variation on Magic Missile that permanently creates lava (though it won't stay lava).
Lava Splash (Serpent Kingdoms) - Druid 4, Cleric 5 - Instantaneous Conjuration (Creation) spell. AoE lava blast with weak damage but no SR.
(Leomund's) Billet (Heroes of Battle) - Bard, Sor/Wiz 5 - A simple barracks, heating, and the minimum requirements of food (bread & gruel) for 40 people(Enough for 8 of the 5-man Teams of Soldiers from the Downtime system). A modification of Secure Shelter.
Magnetic Pulse (Far Corners of the World: Mountains) - Druid 4, Sor/Wiz 4 - weak AoE blast with a good radius that also disarms metal weapons, trips metal armor users, bull rushes metal creatures, etc.
Malevolent Miasma (SpC) - Sor/Wiz 2 - Weak, OK-radius AoE blast that deals nonlethal damage with no SR, but does have a saving throw. Compare with Admonishing Ray.
(Mordenkainen's) Capable Caravel (Stormwrack) - Sor/Wiz 8 - Creates a ship with extradimensional space for 1 day per 2 CL. Compare with PF 1E's Summon Ship + Magnificent Mansion + Unseen Crew.
Mudslide (Stormwrack) - Druid, Sor/Wiz 6 - Instantaneous Conjuration (Creation) spell that permanently creates mud & water and is explicitly compatible with Transmute Mud to Rock. Also a no SR AoE blast with weak damage and control.
Nauseating Breath (SpC) - Cleric, Sor/Wiz 3 - Cone AoE debuff spell with no SR that semi-replicates Stinking Cloud, but doesn't deny that terrain to allies on their turns.
Node Genesis (Champions of Ruin) - Sor/Wiz 9 - Permanently creates a Node of power of one of various types that increases in power as it expands over the course of several years. Is part of its own little subsystem with the Node Spellcasting feat, though. Also expensive at 5000 XP cost (25,000 gp converted).
Obedient Avalanche (SpC) - Cold, Sor/Wiz 9 - Instantaneous Conjuration (Creation) spell that creates an avalanche of snow that persists indefinitely and will melt and become permanent water. Also a moderate combination AoE blasting spell and control spell with a good radius.
Orb of Acid/Cold/Fire/Force/Sound (SpC)- Sor/Wiz, Warmage 4 - Single target, ranged touch attack, no SR blast spells with decent to good damage. All of them except for Force also carry a debuff rider effect. Due to their nature as Instantaneous duration Conjuration (Creation) spells, they can be cast outside of an Antimagic Field and then thrown into it and still work.
Lesser Orb of Acid/Cold/Fire/Sound (SpC)- Sor/Wiz, Warmage 1 - As the Orb spells, except with slower scaling of damage and no debuff rider effects.
Otyugh Swarm (SpC) - Pestilence 9 - A 7 days or 7 months of minions spell, but with Otyughs.
Pavilion of Grandeur (SpC) - Creation 9 - Creates a large extradimensional space with prodigious quantities of food for the better part of a month. Compare with Magnificent Mansion.
Quill Blast (SpC) - Druid 5 - AoE blast + weak debuff that increases in damage the larger the enemies are. Also permanently creates quills.
Raise Ice Forest (Frostburn) - Druid 7 - Permanently create trees made of ice, but only within areas of frostfell (basically permafrost regions, IIRC).
Raise Volcano (Far Corners of the World: Volcano) - Druid 9 - An expensive, Concentration-based spell with an increasingly large AoE blast and control effects. I believe the magma and ash produced by it will persist after the spell's duration ends, but it's probably ambiguous enough to be GM call territory.
Runic Marker (Champions of Valor) - Cleric 4 - Creates a small stone pillar with a message on it and a glyph of warding that lasts until the glyph of warding is discharged.
Sarcophagus of Stone (SpC) - Cleric 6 - Control spell that is also a save or die spell for creatures unable to escape it. Also permanently creates a sealed stone sarcophagus.
(Shalantha's) Delicate Disk (Lost Empires of Faerun) - Sor/Wiz 6 - Creates a disk that stores a spell of up to 5th level indefinitely for 200 gp.
Slime Hurl (Champions of Ruin) - Initiate of Gahunadaur 5 - Permanently creates green slime in the form of 3 ranged touch attacks. Compare with Touch of Slime from PF 1E, which does not persist.
Stonehold (SpC) - Druid 6 - Creates a decentish magic trap (that can't be disarmed!) that lasts for days and covers a fairly large area.
Sudden Stalagmite (SpC) - Druid 4 - Creates a permanent Stalagmite that could become a small column or pillar depending upon ceiling height. Combination (usually) single target blast and control spell with no SR. Compare with Ice Spears, which can similarly be used to create a sort of palisade over time, but only in cold environments, and also causes damage in a similar way.
Swamp Lung (SpC) - Druid 7 - Compare with the versions of Drown. Can't kill on its own, but it is a Save or Lose and a way to use disease.
Tunnel Swallow (SpC) - Sor/Wiz 6 - An AoE blast and control spell designed for relatively narrow tunnels and corridors.
Unseen Crafter (Races of Eberron) - Artificer, Bard, Cleric, Sor/Wiz 2 - Makes a crafter that lasts for days and uses the caster's ranks and spellcasting ability modifier. I believe it can also be used to create assistants that will be very likely to succeed at using Aid Another to boost a Craft check, too. Compare with Unseen Servant + the Magic Trick feat. Also just straight up casting Fabricate.
Wall of Eyes (BoVD) - Sor/Wiz 7 - Permanently creates a wall of eyes that the caster can see through at-will. Also has a Hold Monster rider effect on creatures that touch it that basically acts as a Save or Die.
Wall of Salt (Sandstorm) - Cleric, Druid, Sor/Wiz 4 - Permanently create a wall of rock salt. Basically a weaker Wall of Stone that's vulnerable to water and lower level, aside from using it to break WBL by producing thousands of gold pieces worth of salt even at minimum CL. http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?514122-Applications-of-Wall-of-Money-I-mean-Salt-Wall-of-Salt
(Zajimarn's) Avalanche (Magic of Faerun) - Sor/Wiz 9 - A combination blast and forced movement spell with a customizable AoE. Also notable for having a CL cap that is over 20 by default. Also creates ice, snow, and slush that persists after the spell ends.
