I just leveled up to 2nd level and I am considering what spell to pick as my bonus spell.
Elven Arcana (Ex): At 2nd level, an ancient lorekeeper’s mastery of elven legends and philosophy has allowed her to master one spell used by elven wizards. She selects one spell from the sorcerer/wizard spell list that is at least one level lower than the highest-level oracle spell she can cast. The ancient lorekeeper gains this as a bonus spell known. The spell is treated as one level higher than its true level for all purposes. The ancient lorekeeper may choose an additional spell at 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 16th, and 18th levels. This ability replaces the bonus spells she would normally gain at these levels from her chosen mystery.
So at 2nd level I can pick one cantrip from the sorcerer/wizard spell list and cast it as a 1st level spell.
Here are the spells I'm considering:
Ghost Sound
Touch of Fatigue
Mage Hand
Prestidigitation
This PC has the Time mystery and the Wasting curse. Also, this is a PFS character who is focused on casting.
Thoughts? It is just a first level spell, but I'd like it to be useful in at least a few situations.
I'm actually thinking about writing a guide for the Ancient Lorekeeper. Stay tuned...
I'd love to see a guide for the Ancient Lore Keeper!
Ghost Sound, Mage hand, and Prestidigitation are all really good spells; Touch of Fatigue is kind of flavorful, but it isn't very useful (Unless you fight a LOT of Chained Barbarians).
I personally suggest Ghost Sound, because casting it as a Level 1 spell will make the DC higher.
Mage Hand and Prestidigitation are still both solid options, though.

Thanks. I think I am going with Ghost Sound. Seems useful occasionally.
In general, choosing a wizard spell at a one level higher essentially gives you a free one level Heighten Spell boost for your bonus spells. I'll have to take that into consideration when looking at other spells. That could prove useful for SR checks, dispelling other spells, etc.
