    Not to be too vague, here, but it really depends on what you want to do. When my wizard goes up a level, he's probably going to pick up monster summoning III, and fireball. But haste is a killer spell. Dispel magic is one of the best spells in the game. Fly can let you do some crazy stuff, you might not otherwise be able to do. Like I said, it's all in how you picture your char.

    I would probably pick one of:
    Monster summoning III
    Haste
    Dispel magic
    Slow
    depending on the party set up.

    Edit: Sorry misread. I thought we were talking about a bard. Must have been tired.

    What do you mean fly is not an option is 3E? It's right there in lvl 3 sor/wiz spells.

    I'm thinking about going with Haste, it will me and my whole party, but just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious.

    My personal experiences make me say that Dispel Magic is the pick. But you might not be in an mage-intensive campaign, so you might want to pick up something that deals damage.

    I can't remember, is there a dispel magic for clerics? We have a good cleric in our party.

    Yes, it is a level 3 spell for clerics. So if you have a level 5 cleric then he/she should already have it.

    I would go for, Fireball, Vampiric Touch, Fly.

    Personally i love flying and fireball. Combine those two with Imp. Invisibility (when u get it) and u have a killer combo.
    And i will wait until i get Greater dispelling or something like that.

    On a related note, which is better Melf's Acid Arrow or Flaming Sphere?

    The usage of both differs, but on higher levels, I'd prefer the Acid Arrow.
