I'm a 10th-level PFS character: Fighter1/Wizard(divination[foresight])6/Eldritch Knight3. Click my name for more details.

I feel like I should broaden my spellbook a bit to increase versatility (especially via my bonded item). But... what should I get?

I've never played a caster this far before (no experience with 3.5, either) so I don't really know what's good to have on hand.

I'm one level shy of gaining 5th-level spells, and have 21 INT. What spells do you like to make sure you have?

I have an 11th level PFS wizard

Spells I consider for bonded item or scroll use: Feather Fall, Bears Endurance (as a temporary cure spell), Burning Hands/Fireball (for swarms), Dispel Magic, See Invisibility (scroll), Darkvision, Daylight, Comprehend Languages (scroll), Liberating Command, Greater Infernal Healing

Typical core spells

1: Mage Armor, Shield, Grease, Prot Evil, Vanish (general use and stealth faction missions)
2: Mirror Image, Glitterdust x2, Create Pit, Eagles Spleandor (charisma faction missions), See Invisibility
3: Haste x2, Slow, Daylight, Dispel Magic, Stinking Cloud, Fly (if not taking overland flight)
4: Black Tentacles, Invisibility Greater, (Greater Infernal Healing), (Dimension Door)
5: Icy Prison, Overland Flight, Hungry Pit, Wall of Force/Stone

I like to use a lesser persistent rod with Slow or Glitterdust or Stinking Cloud

I consider leaving an empty slot at every level a core assumption for flexibility.

Never thought of using fireball as a scroll - good thinking!

Yeah, I recently had that one used against me. Brutal, gotta get it!
