Preamble: - Im in a group, that has a lots of secretes and my Investigator is up to level 9 as is. Im pretty happy with how the build is going, even with the limited feats, the Talents make up for it.

But while I have all the skills down, I get better in combat with the more gold I put into my equipment, and Quick Study, and Long Arm are a good combo for my 3 Rapier. But I feel like my spell usage is a bit lacking. The psychic spell list is pretty thick, but being limited to spells as a Bard, and even with a High Intelligence, it feels a bit lacking.

Im wondering if the community could give me some spell lists or ideas on what I can do with my psychic spells to be a better Investigator in reading minds, to buffing the party, since ive noticed that offensive spells other then Mind Thrust, will be lack luster due to my Investigators Spell DC of 17 for level 3 spells...

Anyone have any advice on how to make my limited psychic spells more impactful? If not the least more helpful to the whole Investigator motif of looking into mysteries and secretes? Or at least some good spell suggestions for messing with both NPC/PC minds maybe? Im kind of new to the psychic spell list so im open to suggestions.
