"As a fellow conjurationist, I feel you and know that having the right spell picked out is important and you always want the right tool for the job.

I use Black Tentacles a lot, though I don't use it all the time. While great, many foe's will have CMD's that push it outside the range for me to hit. Stick to humanoids and other medium creatures, as they get bigger your likely to miss with them, though last time I did grapple their Boss, even though all his minions still made it out.

You can never go wrong with a dimension door or two prepared. You can use it both offensively and defensively. Get you BSF's right into the other mages face, he never likes that. And if your having a rough day, use it to get out in a hurry. I would highly recommend you consider training to become DIMENSIONAL AGILITY as that makes this spell (and other teleport abilities) that much more useful.

I would say summon monster 4 is great, but the long casting time can be burdensome. Still, great way to become more versatile.

Enervation can really knock some big enemies down a few notches, especially with a little luck, but it is random and requires a ray, which is not the way I like to spend my days.

Lastly, I highly recommend you have at least one emergency force sphere prepared. Its Wall of Force that protects only you, and you can drop it in a second. It is truly amazing how useful this spell can be, and it has saved my life on one occasion, and I know a few other well prepared wizards it has saved. Also, as a conjurationist, we can still utilize most of our spells from within the sphere.

I sure do hope that has helped you little whelping Pathfinder. If we can keep you alive long enough perhaps we can talk about the next tier of spells next time."
