These are considered Extraordinary Abilities that do provoke attacks of opportunity as a normal wizard spell. The level in Arcane scholar is used as caster level for all at will spell effects. The arcane scholar's Int and the wizard spell level is used in determine save DC where applicable. No arcane spell failure due to armor.
