An Igor production...

For starting money, take full PHB value, and purchase equipment as per PHB.  When you've finished, I'll convert that.

Starting spellbooks will contain read magic, detect magic, and three spells—one combat, one defensive, and one “miscellaneous”.

A specialist wizard may have a sixth spell in the starting spellbook, which must be from the school of that specialty.

For clarity's sake, use the following tables for spell selection (note Miscellaneous has been split into two columns only to make it not so much longer than the other two categories, the spell chosen may be from either column, not one from each). The Cantrip spell would actually be comprised of a set of five cantrips chosen from a separate table.

Offensive	Defensive	Miscellaneous	More Miscellaneous
Burning Hands	Armor	Affect Normal Fires	Alarm
Charm Person	Feather Fall	Audible Glamer	Cantrip**
Chill Touch	Friends	Change Self	Comprehend Languages
Color Spray	Gaze Reflection	Dancing Lights	Detect Undead
Grease	Hold Portal	Enlarge	Erase
Hypnotism	Shield	Find Familiar	Identify
Magic Missile	Spook	Jump	Light
Shocking Grasp	Ventriloquism	Mending	Message
Sleep	Wall of Fog	Mount	Nystul's Magic Aura
Taunt		N/A	Protection from Evil
		Spider Climb	Tenser's Floating Disk
		Unseen Servant	Wizard Mark

If you chose to have cantrip in your starting spellbook, any five of these may be chosen.

Useful	Reversed	Legerdemain	Person affecting	Personal	Haunting
	Curdle	Change	Belch	Bee	Creak
Distract	Blink	Bluelight	Footfall
Hide	Cough	Bug	Groan	Smokepuff	Thump
Dampen	Dry	Mute	Giggle	Firefinger	Moan
Hairy		Palm	Nod	Gnats	Rattle
Exterminate		Present	Scratch	Mouse	Tap
Twitch	Spider	Whistle
Wink	Tweak
Gather	Tangle	Stitch	Yawn	Unlock
Freshen	Spill	Polish	Tarnish	Color
Clean	Dirty	Dust	Sneeze	Shine	Dusty
Knot	Untie	Tie	Wrap	Ravel
Sprout	Wilt
Sweeten	Spice	Salt	Flavor	Sour
Warm	Chill
