Firstly thanks to IMarvinTPA's Dungeons and Dragons Database (D&D DnD) for allowing me to find all the harmless and willing target spells of all the legal wizards book in one search. Thanks.

Heres my list of the best War Weaver (Prestige class from Heroes of Battle) Spells from WoTC source books plus a glimpse of what can be achieved when you reach 5th in the prestige class.

Best Combat Buffs:

Polymorph 4th PH,
Displacement 3rd PH,
Draconic Might 5th Draconomican,
Ice Shield 4th Frostburn,
Greater Invisiblity 4th PH,
Lesser Ironguard 5th Races of Fauerun,
Deeper Darkvision 3rd Underdark,

Otherbuffs for combat or utility use:
Endure Elements 1st PH,
Featherfall 1st PH,
Mage Armour 1st PH,
Protection From (???) 1st PH,
Protection From Arrows 2nd PH,
Invisibility 2nd PH,
Resist Energy 2nd PH,
Blur 2nd PH,
Snakes Swiftness 2nd Minitures,
Urchines Spines 2nd, Stormwrack,
Protection from energy 3rd PH,
Fly 3rd PH,
Heorism 3rd PH,
Greater Mage Armour 3rd Complete Arcane,
Nondetection 3rd PH,
SpiderSkin 3rd Underdar,
Tongues 3rd PH,
Waterbreathing 3rd PH,
Overland Flight 4th PH,

The Eldritch tapestry ability of this class lets you cast buff spells of the harmless and willing variety on all party members at once (upto Int bonus plus you) and by 5th you can store 3 spells in the tapestry that are released as a move action and cast on all party members.
I recommend storing Polymorph (combat form relatevent to your HD), Displacement (50% miss chance) and Ice Shield (DR15/-). Your party will be suddenly and miraculously transformed into a melee munchkin menace and it leaves you free to use your standard action on the first round soften or control the encounter...

I love this prestige class as it allows Wizards to buff the way they are supposed to before all buffs were made 1minute/lvl. Now they are party wide on demand spells.

And as this strategy doesnt involve the normal rule analysis or `bending` involved in expert munchinism it can be used by all and the ref cannot disput. (If he allows the Heroes of Battle book in the first place of coarse).

Compare with that thread, see what's missing - would be good to get another pair of eyes to compile that list.
