Most of my PFS characters are quickly accumulating more prestige than they have any real use for.
Since 2 prestige will buy a wand with a level 1 spell, I think I'm going to start buying lots of wands. My reasoning is:
1) Even if I can't use them, there should be someone in the group who can active some of them. Most of my characters have UMD anyway.
2) Buff wands especially with a decent duration (so you aren't activating it every single combat) will usually last throughout a PFS career to level 12. Even if you offer to use it on other party members.
3) If I pick the ones with a 10 minute duration, or even better the hour duration, I should often be able to have them active in a combat without needing to waste my 1st round on a level 1 spell.
4) If I'm not using actions, even level 1 spells can provide some help at later levels.
So, I would like you folks to help me with a list.
I want to put together all the even sometimes useful level 1 spells that have a 10 minute duration or better.
The ones that immediately come to mind are things like:
Mage Armor
Endure Elements (no in combat effects, but a lot of scenarios are in arctic environments)
Bless
Comprehend Languages
Disguise Self
Undetectable Alignment (I'm not sure that has ever come up in a scenario though)
Obscure Aura (I'm not sure that has ever come up in a scenario though)
Magic Aura (I'm not sure that has ever come up in a scenario though)
Remove Fear
Silent Image
Unseen Servant
What would you add to the list as possibly worth while?

If you have the ACG, Heightened Awareness should be one of the first you buy.

Good list so far. Things I would add:
Longstrider
Bless Weapon
Enlarge Person (although potions are better here. Standard activation of a potion, vs keeping the full round on a wand.)
Bless Water (50 vials of holy water for 750gp or 2 PP It would cost you 1250gp to just buy them)
Obscuring Mist
Goodberry (Less efficient than CLW, but it doubles as produce food)

Floating Disk. Why walk when you can glide?
Also, while not a buff, a wand of blade lash can be quite handy.
If you have UMD, take True strike.
Lead blades / gravity bow are also affordable and very good for martial classes.

Thanks guys. Some of those I forgot about. Some I've never hear of. Looks like I have some reading to do.
