Hey folks, I tried to post this a couple times but the site kept experiencing trouble. A new player just joined us, they have no experience but are a quick learner.
I built them up an Oracle, and they're struggling a bit with spell suggestion so I was looking for good spells from 1st to 4th level. Now, I'm not just reading an oracle guide because there have been a few new spells made since the last time the ones on Zenith were upgraded and this player is a little particular.
They only want thematic spells, they're fairly set on area denial/debuffs, and I'm trying to get them a wide selection to overcome different weaknesses. Currently they have Shadow Trap, CLW, Obscuring Mists, Faerie Fire, Hideous Laughter, and Pilfering Hand.
Can anyone suggest a few spells that can help them keep relevant and target some defenses other than Will and CMD?

Hallucinogenic smoke is a 4th level area spell targeting Fort. Its boost to divinations may be useful occasionally and it should be in theme.
Burning disarm is thematic for a prankster. It targets reflex - nominally, you don't much care whether they fail the save.
Sound burst isn't great but you can find a use for it. 2nd level, area, targets Fort.
Iron spike for dealing with troublesome fey rivals.
Most divination spells are thematic for fey, especially things like augury and divination that essentially involve brief rituals rather than quick incantations. Same for most enchantment (charm/compulsion) spells and quite a few spells that appear on both cleric and druid lists.
Edit: And bestow curse, naturally!

Barbed chains is one of my favorite 1st level spells on my PFS oracle, and I used that spell throughout her entire career, even through 13th level. Trip up to 4 people at range a round, or make multiple attempts to trip against on BBEG.
Wall of Stone is another area denial spell that can be very useful if used smartly.
