a wizard concept i want to bring to life

[Stalarious]

Ok so here is what I'm wanting to make a wizard that is obsessed with find and discovering magic. Like a magical archeologist. But other then this being a awesome back story I don't know how to bring it to actual game play. Can you guy help me out?

Mechanics:

Outlander:Loreseeker trait. Pathfinder Savant PrC. Max ranks in know:arcana and Spellcraft.

Roleplay:

Make it a point to join wizard's guilds and colleges. Visit libraries. Enquire with other arcanists about spells they have encountered. Offer to share/trade/swap spells and spellbooks. Always keep spare spellbooks for this purpose. Collect scrolls. Use quirky spells in the game instead of the "go to" good spells. Use snapdragon fireworks instead of magic missile (as an example.)

If you're not married to the wizard class, an archaeologist bard might work pretty well at this.
