I have a Cleric 6/Ruathar 2 with an archery focus that looks a wee bit like this:

Wood Elf Cleric of Corellon
Domains of Celerity and War
Str 16
Dex 16 (gloves +2)
Con 12
Int 10
Wis 19 (bump at 4 & 8 & periapt +2)
Cha 8

Skills Know (Rel) 5, Concentration (5), Heal (4), Spellcraft (2) or so

Cl1 Point Blank Shot
Cl3 Rapid Shot
Cl6 Craft Wondrous Stuff (so far 5 POPs, Gloves of Dex +2, Cloak of Elem Protection, plus a much more random crap)

I recently got access to RETRAIN into an Alternate Class Ability: Divine Magician. I'm happy to give up the War domain (I rarely use it...and the only thing I think I'd miss is Flame Strike)...but I'll soon have access to the Travel Domain for that high level goodness.

So, I'm considering Divine Magician (Complete Mage...basically lose a domain, but build your own domain from the Wizards Abj/Div/Necro lists)...but I've never played above APL8 and I'm unsure what would be helpful good from the Wizard Abj/Div/Necro spell lists to consider adding.

Supposing I'm going into Divine Magician, which of the following spells are useful in Living Greyhawk at higher APLS (10+) and which spells do you suggest that I grab?

Lvl 1: Ray of Enfeeblement/True Strike/Arrowmind/Guided Shot
Lvl 2: Spectral Hand (I don't have divine ward, so dealing touch spells from a distance is interesting)/False Life
Lvl 3: Anticipate Teleportation Arcane Sight/Telepathic Bond, Lesser
Lvl 4: Enervation/Stoneskin
Lvl 5: Prying Eyes/Rary's Telepathic Bond/Spiritwall
Lvl 6: Anticipate Teleportation Greater/Antimagic Field/Circle of Death/Undeath to Death
Lvl 7: Control Undead/Energy Immunity/Spell Turning

1) What do you guys think? Is this worth it?

2) What other valuable/useful Abj/Div/Necro spells am I missing?

Thanks.

2 Your picks here are pretty good, too.
3 Ray of Exhaustion is pretty decent.
4 Enervation, for sure. Unluck is also really good.
5 Waves of Fatigue is okay.
6 Eyebite is pretty cool, but Corellon won't be cool with you casting it.
7 Finger of Death and Waves of Exhaustion are decent. Control Undead is great and can bust mods for you if you get it to work.

Energy Immunity is an open level 6 cleric spell. No sense in taking the level 7 arcane version when you have it at a lower level for a cleric...

Other than that the rest of the choices have all been really good.
