Increase the Range on Dancing Lights to Long.
It's a 'signal flare' spell, but the range is to short for it to be useable to mark directions, targets etc. Boosting it to Long range would let you use it more as a tactical signal.

If you have GSF Abjuration, I think it'd be wonderful quality of life if all the Shelgarn's spells came with a 5/- to all elements, OR a precast Endure Elements on them.

Make Dismissal do damage vs all Outsiders and Elementals.

I've been using Dismissal a fair bit lately, but only as I have it off a ranger token.
It's not worth preparing because for the cost of a L3 slot you could just use a L3 slot to kill or disable the summoner, or fireball the whole encounter. And that also, conveniently, works on non-summoners! So Dismissal is only good off items. It also doesn't work on 'Summoned X of Y' type Djinn that turn out to be actually perfectly normal spawns, or that are summoned off a Nazaru when they die, etc.

So, here's my thought to make it something worth taking as a situational spell.
What about if it did 1d4 Divine Damage per level to all Outsiders and Elementals, no save? Then it will always mess up 'summoned creatures' regardless of whether they are a Summoned Creature mechanically. No save means it's not just a cheaper, situational Castigation. It means it's weaker, but reliable at what it does.

This won't really affect PvP vs summoners as it already deletes most of their horde due to the massive DC. It will mean that the thematically cool thing of "pray for an exorcism loadout when we go to beat up some Djinn" is worth doing.

Adding Horizakaul's Boom to Bard 1 spell list, lowering Whispering Wind from being a Bard 2 spell into a Bard 1 spell.

New Spell Suggestion:

Icy Kiss

Spell level: sorcerer/wizard/druid 2

Innate level: 2
School: evocation
Descriptor: cold
Components: verbal, somatic
Range: touch (Melee, Like Ghoul Touch or vampiric touch d20+Str vs Melee Touch AC, not like combust)
Area of effect: single
Duration: instantaneous
Save: fortitude partial
Spell resistance: yes
Additional counterspells: combust

Description: This spell makes a creature freeze into an icicle. If the initial kiss makes contact it causes ice to erupt from the point of contact for 2d4 cold damage +2 point per caster level (maximum +20) with no saving throw. Further, the creature must make a fortitude save or freeze in place, rooting the creature where it stands for a duration of 1 round per 2 caster levels (maximum 5).

Additional notes: For animations, It may be good to use the Icy Stonehold effect to simulate the rooting. And maybe a combination of the female taunt animation and a single ice shard from icestorm in the initial cast.

Spell: Curse of Blades / Mass Curse of Blades.

"On failed save, the subject take a -2 penalty to Dodge AC and dispels the effects of Shield, Shield of Faith, and Shield Other.

    Greater Spell Focus: Necromancy increases the AC penalty to -3"

With the introduction of "protect"  to provide long term deflection (vs shield previously) I feel the spell has fallen off. The area of effect of the mass variant also seems to small to reliably hit a 3rd slot worthy amount of enemies with.

Maybe another suggestion seeing the new prevalence in DI on both PC and NPC characters is to change the spell to apply vulnerability to slashing/blunt/piercing rather than reduce AC.

Was talking about this on Discord, but the Ranger spell list is really, really pathetic. It's other half-caster counterpart gets a bunch of great spells, plus some unique spells only cool paladin only spells. While Ranger just gets the worst spells on the druid list. Can we change that and make Ranger spellcasting something that's more interesting than just Camouflage/OwtL? I think we can.
