IM wondering if getting false focus is worth it beyond animate dead.
What are some other good spells?
Ever burning torch.

I really like NONDETECTION, especially when used in conjunction with MISDIRECTION, and MAGIC AURA.
These three spells (the first of which normally isn't so great due to the cost) can pretty much make your spellcaster detect like a mundane hobo. Never underestimate the power of deception and surprise.
Another spell to use is the Illusionary Script!
Now its not a big deal to keep one of these scrolls handy for when you run into a group overwhelming thugs.
~After reading this page, hand it over to your nearest comrade and then sit down and eat a green apple from a box labeled apples.~
"Hey guys don't kill us! I have this treasure map that only I can understand. If you don't kill us, I can lead you to it!"
The box of apples, just happened to be poisoned. That really is too bad.
This may even work for PFS.

Arcane Lock(MK) lock up your spellbook if you have a base you can lock everything all over the place
Create Treasure Map(M) Kill first and ask questions later
Continual Flame(M) I have some plans to build a money system backed by continual flame stones.
Magic Mouth(MK), Not sure maybe you want to be a one man propaganda campaign
Phantom Trap(MK), If you have a base put these every 50 feet it will make any rouges coming in feel very nervous. Might even put some real traps too.
Symbol of Mirroring(M) I have a bunch of these ready incase enemies get close to you
Masterwork Transformation(M) make a lot of masterwork ammunition
Ablative sphere(M)
Nondetection(M)

I've done some research on this myself, since I have a Razmiran Priest PFS character. In addition to stuff already mentioned, I recall seeing several ooze- or acid-based spells that requires a 10-gp acid flask or something similar as material component - that's about all I can remember at the moment, aside from knowing that the ever-amusing conjure black pudding spell is one of these.
Bless water
It's not on the sorc list I think but you can get it by multiclassing or by using the fluff and the feat by another arcane caster.
I'd thought about building a water witch x/alchemist 1 for CC
I animate this thread!
I have a buddy coming with the idea of a Witch with False Focus.
What can he use this feat on?
Animate Dead is one, as is Masterwork Transformation.
What else?
Remember the 100 gp limit on False Focus. So MW transformation can only be used on tools with false focus.
Apart from this, this thread pretty much sums up some great options.
If somehow he could get communal stoneskin as a witch that is a golden choice.
Can Masterwork Transformation be used on a single piece of ammunition, like a Durable Arrow?
Yes, I believe so.
While the spell states that you can enhance 50 arrows as one weapon, I'd expect a single arrow counts as a weapon for the spell.

Wait. I am rereading the feat.
Although the need to cast Arcane spells is required to get the feat, there seems to be nothing preventing someone from using the feat with Divine spells that have no divine focus component.
This even better for an Oracle, as Oracles do not need to provide a divine focus to cast spells that list divine focus as part of the components.

There are a bunch of alchemical power components in Adventurer's Armory that you could spoof with False Focus: tanglefoot bags to entangle victims of Slow, or to roll twice with Black Tentacles; alchemist's fire to set targets on fire with Scorching Ray or Fireball; itching powder to make Glitterdust even more obnoxious.

BRILLIANT! I have that book, but I'd never managed to make the connection or realize that those were kosher applications. That's great news, particularly since my character has a thing for flamboyant spells like those.
A witch with water patron gets bless water, the oracle can get it, too.

Despite the spell not needing a divine focus, to use the feat you still need to have one as part of casting the spell.
