Status, Dispel Magic, Suppress Charms and Compulsions.  A backup Owl's Wisdom and a Fox's Cunning, both things he should have in emergencies, and it's not impossible today will turn into an emergency.

Another Invisibility Purge another Detect Intelligence accomplishes much the same thing, probably, and is cheaper?

An Early Judgment, also because he might think of something to do with that, some test; the Conspiracy if it exists may be somehow nervous about afterlives.  Though the fact that the Conspiracy told him about that spell, suggests that it has no obvious-to-them win-ability... well, they could have expected that his god would give it to him anyways at some point, before that whole interdiction zone happened.

Keltham... cannot really afford a Sending or an extra Glimpse of Beyond, both 4th-circle, with the amount he's already spending.  Or an Arcane Sight when he doesn't have a specific plan or time in mind to use it.

(Keltham doesn't really like spending large quantities of money.  That is probably some kind of important character flaw given his changed life circumstances.  He may have to work on this?  But it will be a lot easier to work on this once he has those large amounts of money in his liquid-asset account.)

Okay he'll buy the Arcane Sight too, fine.
