Ok – during the beta phase of the APG classes, I made a witch with a monkey familiar, and so had to make a new spell list. I opted for an outside force/presence/energy and things worked out pretty good. Now that the APG is out, familiars are not bound to the spells gained - patrons are.
Additionally, I used spells from various sources, including the spell compendium (gasp, 3.5!). I’ve listed the possible spells below and marked the tentative spells with an *. The 2-3 letter code: SC spell compendium (3.5), GI genius guide to ice magic, aa Arsenal of Arcane Might, and I’m going to just assume you know what the APG & SRD are.
What I’m looking for! Feedback/ideas as to what to name the patron, and what spell combos make more sense given that name. Also – I should note that I strongly dislike the patron lists that are composed of spell version I, II, III, IV – it gives the witch a very limited variety to work with, and is boring to boot!
I am worried that using the SC 5th version of ball lightning may be tacky vs using the 4th level APG version, but I haven't come to a final decision.
Current list:
1st: Persistent Blade (SC), 2nd Flaming Sphere, 3rd Aqueous Orb (APG), 4th Stone Sphere (SC), 5th Ball Lightning (SC version, not the APG!), 6th Forceful Hand, 7th Mage's Sword, 8th Clenched Fist, 9th Black Blade of Disaster (SC)
gi biting wind 1st
SRD unseen servant 1st
aa dagger swarm 2nd
SRD spiritual weapon 2nd
SC bands of steel 3rd
SC ring of blades 3rd
SC puppeteer 3rd
SC manyjaws 3rd
aa flailing fist 3rd
SC defenestrating sphere 4th
SC force claw 4th
SC sword of deception 4th
SC vortex of teeth 4th
APG ball lightning 4th - was using the SC ball lightning at 5th
SRD resilient sphere 4th
SRD interposing hand 5th
SC shadow hand 5th
aa force chains of constriction 6th
SRD forceful hand 6th
SC prismatic eye 7th
SC sword of darkness 7th
SRD grasping hand 7th
SRD telekinetic sphere 8th
SC eye of power 9th
SC sphere of ultimate destruction 9th
SRD crushing hand 9th
And to add to the confusion, did I miss any spells that fit the theme?

Well, I figure I will give this a single bump before I let it rest.
Ahem, "Bump"
