Dispel Magic / Haste / Fly / FireballYou could leave Dispel Magic to the clerics.  Stinking Cloud could take a large group of enemies out of the combat for a few rounds.  4th Stoneskin / Impr.Invis. / Exploding Cascade / PolyOtherConfusion is my favorite 4th level spell, but that's a personal thing.  Those affected by it are almost out of the combat until it is removed.  Scrying is a very flexible information-gathering spell, provided you have a Bag of Holding to carry your big mirror.5th Ghost Form / Wall of Force / Energy BufferOK, I don't have these supplements.  Wall of Force is handy for dividing up enemies, cutting off their retreat, or covering your retreat, so that's handy.  Hold Monster could take out anything.6th Mass Haste / Summon VIClerics summon just as well as arcane casters, so you could leave it to them.  Analyze Dweomer and Legend Lore will get you *lots* of information on something.7th (Will pick Limited Wish... any better ?)Limited Wish will get you the versatility that Sorcerers often lack.  You won't have any other 7th level spells at this level, but you can always use these slots to cast a meta'd lower level spell.</blockquote>
