My sorcerer can cast dispel magic until it works, or cast fireball as long as foes vulnerable to it are on the battlefield, or cast a couple wall of force.That is flexibility for me, the ability to spend your slots as the situation demands it, even going to the extreme of using up all your slots for magic missile if that is the only thing that works, and the situation demands it.</blockquote>
