I'm assuming you're going Rage Mage.

Human Barbarian 2/Sorcerer 1/Barbarian +2/Rage Mage 2/Abjurant Champion 5/Rage Mage +8
Feats: Power Attack (1), Combat Casting (1), Precocious Apprentice (3), Extend Spell (6), Frightful Presence (9), Blade of Force (12), Minor Shapeshift (15), Residual Magic (18)

You absolutely want to take that first level as a Barbarian because they have more skill points and a better HD, so you'll end up with more skill points and more HP.

what books do you have access to?

A few things, drop frightful presence namely because your quarry will usually have more hd than you making this feat useless.

im not sold on the blade of force feat, i mean with the op wanting utility spells and buff spells. I would assume buying a ghost touch weapon would be more effective or just learning spectral strike.

Arcane Strike should be worked into the build.

Spells
Wraith Strike, Primal Hunter, Primal Speed, Primal Instinct, Primal Senses, True Seeing
Critical Strike, Stone Skin, Telekinesis, I don't remember if Rage mage gets armor spellcasting so I'd say Greater Mage Armor is a good spell to.
Spectral Strike, Enlarge Person, Energy Immunity
Fly, Teleport, Greater Dispel Magic, Hold Monster,
Shield, Draconic Polymorph, Greater Magic Weapon,
