[3.5] Divine Magician

[Thurbane]

Need some advice for a hypothetical build.

Say I have a character, a Cloistered Cleric 10/Contemplative 10. He has the Magic and Spell domains from his base class, and trades away the Knowledge domain for the Divine Magician ACF (CM p.33).

What spells, 1st through 9th, are good choices to gain from the ACF? Wizards spells from the abjuration, divination, or necromancy schools.

Looking for spells that are powerful and/or add versatility.

Cheers - T

1. Shield
2. Command Undead, or Arcane Turmoil
3. Curse of Impending Blades, Mass, or Anticipate Teleportation
4. Ray Deflection, or Friendly Fire
5. Magic Jar
6. Anticipate Teleportation, Greater, or Animate Dread Warrior
7. Ironguard
8. Avascular Mass
9. Maw of Chaos, or Foresight

Some of those will be significantly better with DMM: Persist and/or a Circlet of Rapid Casting and/or a Lesser Metamagic Rod of Quicken.

Thank you both, those are some great suggestions for me to look into!

you're quite welcome. I looked through some more books and edited more spells into the earlier post.

EDIT: in addition to my selections, check out the handbook (http://minmaxforum.com/index.php?topic=1329.0) for some more
