This is your Lucky Day!
Sorta.
In my basement, I have an original, signed, "Wozniak", AppleIIgs with 1.3 MEGABYTES of RAM!!! and an external 20 MEGABYTE Hard Drive! Because I hated all the disc swapping necessary in the Wiz 1-5 series, I got 2 (count em) 2, 5 1/4" floppy drives and 2 (count em again) 2, 3 1/2" floppy drives. Sorry, the state-of-the-art 900K modem is mostly fried.
AND....
I have all FIVE original Apple formatted Wizardry games, original hand-drawn maps, and character print-outs (at each level from 1 through ?) of all 20 (count em) 20, characters played through the games. These print-out sheets courtesey of the "Wizardry Master" software, much like Rick's Wiz Edit software but just not as neat. Also have a collection of "small humanoid flees" gathered in a Circus format. I wrote Sir Tech several times about the misspelling but got no response. Guess the Typo Gnomes were on a coffee break.
You can have the whole package for the mere price of the original AppleIIgs, disk drives, and hard drive... $6,000.00. (I rounded down.)
Or I can scan the Spell List you want and send it to you, whichever.
But heads up on the software... it's written in PASCAL and as far as I know, cannot be imported to PC-type machines. Several hundred misspent dollars taught me that lesson.
Brief Rant.
Apple has orphaned every system they ever put out; Apple, AppleII, AppleIIe, Apple C, Lisa, Apple III, Apple IIgs (first 16 bit processor), and mark my words, the latest Cube (which makes me wanna make toast everytime I look at it).
Having 'adopted' several of these orpahans (AppleII, AppleIIe, AppleIIgs), I have sworn a blood oath never to buy another computer featuring half-eaten fruit as its logo.
Rant ended.

And a brilliant, thrilling account it was, too. All those ancient spell words brought back such found memories... I even wrote a song called, "Malikto Kadorto". Lottsa weighty minor chords and threatening 7th's. I shall not inflict you with a recitation. Besides, it's down in my infamous basement... which brings me back to the fold of the topic at hand... a complete list of P Spells for you. Can do, if time and tide will wait up a minute. In exchange, I would like a run down on the differences between the Apple versions and the PC versions... maps, graphics, save features, et al. Give you something to do while waiting for me to get a move on.
I suppose we can use Cap'n Llevram as an email go-betwixt rather than post email addresses here on the forum.
Post back if you're interested.
