I am joining a core only game, and am relatively new to D&D, though I have been reading about and plotting all kinds of battlefield control etc. that is possible as a wizard. I would appreciate some help developing an ideal wizard build for a core only game where the rest of the party consists of a rogue, fighter, and druid. I would prefer to focus on battlefield control, but am open to any suggestions. Right now I'm thinking of playing a conjurer with evocation and necromancy banned (necro despite having ray of enfeeblement and other debuffs just doesn't fly well with a mostly good party, and it was down to that or enchantment). The campaign will start with level 3 characters. Thank you all for your help, and let me know if I left something out of my initial post.

Glitterdust. Will save or be blinded, with a small area effect. Lots and lots and lots of the guys you face will not make that save. Better yet, it's not mind affecting, so you can use it on undeads and stuff. It's an amazingly good spell. Play a wizard, cast lots and lots of glitterdust. My non-core wizard uses lots of 2nd-level slots for glitterdust and lots of 3rd-level slots for sculpted glitterdust (only thing better than one 10' square is four 10' squares!)
