Level 9 you want Ignite and Light Healing as your two largest immediate priorities. Invis to Animals has use (in conjunction with charming, mostly) later on, but not right at level 9. Strength of Earth is used if you find yourself getting encumbered but you can live without it for awhile if need be. Enduring Breath also classifies as a spell you'll eventually want but won't need right away. In the case of the "endure" resist buffs and the damage shields (both self and targetable) there's a fair chance you'll buy later-level upgrades before you even use them. Firefist is pointless and Treeform doesn't get much use other than as a joke past level 14 because it strips off run-speed buffs.

For level 14 you should buy Spirit of Wolf, Levitate, Bind Affinity, Skin like Rock. Summon Food and Summon Drink are rarely used, but nice when you need them (typically when on corpse run) and very cheap. Stinging Swarm may see use if you root-dot stuff, contingent on playstyle. Befriend Animal has obvious critical use for Druids who wish to charm. I like to keep See Invisible up at all times on P1999 because I don't trust other players very much, but it's hardly ever needed for actual PvE gameplay. Anti-summoned spells and area effect damage spells can be largely ignored at this level--you'll have upgrades available before you ever need to use them. Invigor presently serves little purpose on P99 ; you can go back and buy it later if a future patch ever makes it more useful.
