Blackraven's thread on a mage only party gave me an idea : a solo run with a mage / sorc that could cast spells only from 1 school (no use of scrolls for casting. ok to use wands)
Which school would be the best for that challenge ?
My best bet would be evocation :
level 1 : shield / MM / chromatic orb -> great choice
level 2 : web = crowd control. Mandatory since there will be no defensive spells
level 3 : MMM, works great with web
level 4-5-6 : nothing great there. just more Direct Damage
level 7 : mordy sword
level 8 : good DD (incendiary cloud) and crowd control (bigby)
level 9 : chain contigency
That makes for a glass canon build. I am quite sure it will be viable until mid soa but i am afraid that the lack of protective spells will make my life very very hard in tob
Any advice?
