I have an elf-wizard character now at level 8 who I am very happy with, with one exception...
For some reason I chose to pick illusionism and necromancy as my prohibited schools.
This proved to be a bad idea. We're playing Kingmaker, and the lack of humanoid/human enemies has led to a notable lack in enchantment utility. I realized now when levelling up last session that I have not actually prepared, over my eight levels, a single enchantment spell.
So I decided to read some guides, and they all seem to agree. Enchantment is rather subpar. The only spell that might be useful seems to be confusion. Dominate monster and dominate person might be useful, but they're much higher level.
I know there's a "feat" in Ultimate Magic that allows me to cast spells from prohibited schools as if they were any normal school, but my game master is very particular that we use as little non-core as possible.
Looking through illusionism and necromancy they both have more versatile and useful spells than enchantment. I know I can still cast prohibited spells, but for twice the spell slots that's quite pricey. I am disappoint :I
Just ask your GM if you could change it. You've never cast a single Enchantment spell, so he should not have a problem with that (be sure to let him know of this)

At 10th level you can take a discovery which makes a forbidden school easier to cast spells from (single slot!), but they remain difficult to learn...I would snag illusion personally, but false life and enervation are pretty sweet spells.
Along that note, Heroism (enchantment) is a pretty good spell, especially since it lasts a long time....
