(3.5) (E12) Spell-Linked Familiar

[paranoidbox]

Oh hi... I am wondering if someone could give me some suggestions for spells for a familiar when using the Spell-Linked Familiar feat.

My character is a crossbow-wielding, craft skills oriented, buff-stacked gish sorcerer in an E12 (sort of) game with a raven familiar. It's unlikely that I will want to use the raven for offensive spells or even battlefield control spells as I don't want it to become a target for opponents to squish it. So I'm more thinking about utility spells, healing, or defensive buffs.

The sorcerer's caster level will be 15th soon, so the raven will have access to up to 2nd level spells.

So which spells would you suggest? Anything useful that comes to mind?

(Assume that I have access to every kind of spell up to 5th level wiz/sorc and 3rd level anything else. I cannot take more levels though, if that's relevant.)

I would go with teleportation spells. Benign Transposition at 1st and then Dimension Hop at 2nd. The ability to get out of a dangerous situation without using any of your own actions is pretty handy utility
