At what level? To a single target, or to an area, or what?

Ideally, up to level 20, and to an area, but if single target deals a lot more damage, then go for it. Hopefully you'd be working alone, blasting off an evocation spell like Hyper Fireball or Ray of Heck your HP, but if a summon can just dwarf anything the wizard can do by themselves, then be sure to mention it.

As said above, I'm looking for the most damage a wizard can do within a single round. Metamagics, mythic spells, etc, how can one optimize to be an incredible blaster caster?
I'm rather new to Pathfinder, so I'd like to focus on wizard only, as even though they might optimize for blasting, their varied spells allow them to fill out many utility rolls, and I'm aware that other spellcasters have options to dwarf the wizard's damage output, so giving mentions to them would be really helpful.
I'm also interested in how a player might build towards such a goal?
My first impression is to become an Evoker wizard, but I imagine with the Mythic Heroes rules, you can do a lot more with it.
