[QUOTE="Forrester, post: 45154, member: 1279"] Wow, look at all the bad advice! :P Specialist wizards cast almost as many spells as sorcerers, and they *always* cast as many of their highest level spell slot as sorcerers. It's a myth that sorcerers cast many more spells than specialist wizards. They cast a trivial amount more, especially at odd levels -- like the one you are starting at.
