Wizard Level 3 Spells, Temple of Elemental Evil ToEE Best Spells

Sorcerers & Wizards start to feel powerful when they break into level 3 spells. There are 28 level 3 Sorcerer & Wizard spells in ToEE. 

The best Level 3 Wizard spells are Fireball, Suggestion and Deep Slumber. I also recommend Empowered Fireball for clearing out the tougher mobs in the Temple. Empowered Fireball is probably the best spell in the game: ~60% of Temple denizens will be instantly killed or at least put on their last legs by it.

• Unbolded: the spell may or may not be useful; it depends
• Bolded: the spell is generally worth having
• Blue: King-tier or key spell: a spell we don't want to miss
• Red: Bottom-tier or all but useless spell

• Format is: Spell name / Spell school / Item code for scroll

◦ Blink (Transmutation) {9041}

◦ Clairaudience/Clairvoyance (Divination) {9062}

◦ Deep Slumber (Enchantment) {9553}
Upgraded Sleep spell (impacts 10 HD).

◦ Dispel Magic (Abjuration) {9133}

◦ Displacement (Illusion) {9134}

◦ Fireball (Evocation) {9171} [key crafting spell]
Probably the best spell in the game.

◦ Gaseous Form (Transmutation) {9189}
◦ Gentle Repose (Necromancy) {} [added by Co8]

◦ Greater Magic Weapon (Transmutation) {9205}

◦ Halt Undead (Necromancy) {9217}

◦ Haste (Transmutation) {9219}
Nice buff for physical-based damage dealers in that it grants them an extra attack at their full BAB,  and doubles their movement speed. Stacks once with itself in vanilla but not in Temple+.

◦ Heroism (Enchantment) {9559}

◦ Hold Person (Enchantment) {9228}

◦ Invisibility Sphere (Illusion) {9255}

◦ Keen Edge (Transmutation) {9261} [key crafting spell]
If we didn't take Improved Critical, we want this. They don't stack like in NWN.

◦ Lightning Bolt (Evocation) {9275} [key crafting spell]
Top-tier direct damage spell.

◦ Magic Circle Against Chaos (Abjuration) {9282}

◦ Magic Circle Against Evil (Abjuration) {9283}

◦ Magic Circle Against Good (Abjuration) {9284}

◦ Magic Circle Against Law (Abjuration) {9285}

◦ Protection From Energy (Abjuration) {9369}

◦ Rage (Enchantment) {9547}

◦ Sleet Storm (Conjuration) {9439}

◦ Slow (Transmutation) {9440}
Solid AoE debuffer. Cast it in conjunction with Haste in order to gain an unfair advantage.

◦ Stinking Cloud (Conjuration) {9460}

◦ Suggestion (Enchantment) {9466}
King-tier spell that erroneously adds the victim to the party forever. In Temple+, casting Suggestion crashes the game.

◦ Summon Monster III (Conjuration) {9469}

◦ Vampiric Touch (Necromancy) {9515}

◦ Wind Wall (Evocation) {9536}

Lightning Bolt is great for when we have enemies lined up in single-file. It should also be Empowered.
