    Default [3.5] Buffing other casters with arcane spells

    What Sorc/Wiz spells are good for buffing other casters? I've got a LVL 9 party of the following:

    Cleric
    Druid
    Wizard
    Sorcerer
    Monk

    Cleric: he has his own buffs and they're better than yours.
    Druid: (Greater) Mage Armor or (Greater) Luminous Armor (BoED)
    Monk: as Druid, but add on POLYMORPH so he can actually feel like he's contributing. Cave Troll (MM3) and Hydra are capable forms.

    3 of your 5 party members like haste and your group isn't yet high enough level yet to buy their own. Heroism is one buff you have that's better than the cleric alternative. Stoneskin is awesome but expensive this early. And the druid gets it too. Magic circle of evil is nice but the cleric gets it. The monk will like greater magic weapon/fang more than others (who already have +1 anyway) but both the cleric and druid can help him there. The thing is none of you can afford many 3rd level buffs yet so it doesn't hurt to have multiple possible sources.

    So you never have to interrupt a game to look up a rule again:
