I've been wanting to play through the whole trilogy (using BGT and SCS) with a themed sorcerer for a while, but have been struggling with spell selection... It seems impossible to get a consistent repetoire of spells together without leaving nasty gaps in attack or defense, and as I've yet to play a char past level 12 I've only really got the spell desciptions to work from. So, bearing in mind he's not meant to be anywhere near optimal, how badly would this guy do (party or not)?
