gnome illusionist wizard witch (free archetype) spell selection

[Martialmasters]

spell selection is the hardest part of playing a caster imo.

im looking to play a wizard with witch dedication (gnome illusionist) and am hoping to get a general idea of good/bad spells to take.

i know sleep is considered good, and fear.

going gnome to get the illusionist ancestry feats, spell blending for more high level slots. wizard thesis doesnt specific wizard spell slots so i can consume witch slots for more wizard ones if i want.

For the specific wizard slots for Illusion have Color Spray at low levels, stun + blinded on a failure is very strong, incapacitation so you will have to heighten, do that until lvl 4 and then stop when you get 3rd lvl spell slots.

Illusory Creature is solid and so is Invisibility.

Invisibility Sphere is good for stealth missions.

Phantasmal Killer is a classic.

2nd the Illusory creature for both in and out of battle use, especially if you are the creative type. Illusory Object may also be decent for a low level ‘Wall’ or whatever else you can think to use a believable image of an object for.
