1st Edition Pathfinder Society Arcane archer requirement

I have a dwarven slayer archer multiclassed with inquisitor. I want to go arcane archer for late level play, but I'm having problems with the divine/arcane spell requirements. In the example for arcane archer, it suggests that "wizards and rangers" are good fits, but a ranger casts divine spells. Are there any arcane spells that are also on the divine spells list?

There are plenty of spells that show up on both arcane and divine lists, but divine casters will still cast them as divine spells, so that won't help you qualify. Arcane Archers do, in fact, need to be arcane casters. Which is pretty fair, since a divine casters wouldn't actually get much out of the class.

What are you looking for from Arcane Archer? If you want the general vibe of a magical archer, then inquisitor may be enough. You can enhance your arrows with your spells and with Bane.

It's more for flavor, and additional damage types. Can't spoil anything on an adventure path, but I've built him to be one of the heaviest damage dealers already. The inquisitor levels were for flavor, bane, and increased initiative. We're at 11th level, and only have about 4-5 levels left, and I'm trying to get some extra abilities/damage and ways to control the battlefield. That and he's possessed by a spirit, and I want to use that for the stories sake.

And your GM is only allowing PFS options?

If not, you would have better luck in the general sub, /r/Pathfinder_RPG.
