With an eventual 20 Charisma and 19 Intelligence on my Shaman character I have chosen the Lore wandering spirit with the Arcane Enlightenment hex. As we know the Shaman spell list isn't the greatest, however via the Human FCB I have access to Cleric spells also. I am looking for advice for the best 5 wizard spells I should pick with my Arcane Enlightenment. Please share with me the best 5 spells on the wizards list. This is a debuff focused shaman with control spells (survival spells are also welcome ie. Greater Invisibility). My main spirit is Life so I do have some good utility in that department as well. Please note since I took Lore I get Time Stop as a Bonus spirit spell at level 9. Thank you all for your time.

So this will not be a whole lot of help but first because it is a wandering Spirit you can change the spells every day. So if you can i would take scribe scroll and make yourself a contingency list of scrolls. I can't help a whole lot on debuff spells, other than to say I think the misfortune hex is all you need ;) for survival spells, blur (later displacement) could save you with a 20% miss and thus becoming immune to sneak attack. Most would say mirror image is probably the best defense. If nobody has it, even though it isn't a debuff, haste is a game changer. Last heroism is always nice.
Interesting choice, I also love mirror image and think it makes the top 5 list. My other choices were Contingency, Emergency Force Sphere, Antimagic Field and Blood Money.

I should mention we have a sorcerer in our group with scribe scroll, could I learn spells from him?
Unfortunately you can't.. but you don't have to. As a shaman you can prepare any shaman spell and arcane enlightenment allows you to pick any arcane spell every day. So you are already pretty versatile.

Blood Money, Magic Jar, EFS, Limited Wish, And Pick one (DOminate Monster, Mage's Disjunction, Gate, or Wish)
I personally like Magic Jar->Blood Money-> Limited Wish. Very good Combination as you kill the possessed creature while impacting the fight with your limited wish spell.
EFS is still a decent defensive option even in the higher levels.
