I chose Twin because it's versatile enough to work well with buffs, debuffs, and attack cantrips, but it burns sorcery points so quickly that if I were to do it all over again and couldn't multiclass, I might do something like this:Metamagic: Careful and Subtle, Quicken at 10, Heighten at 17.Cantrips: Firebolt, Mage Hand, Sword Burst, Minor Illusion, Message, Blade WardLevel 1: Earth Tremor, Silent ImageLevel 2: Web, SuggestionLevel 3: Hypnotic Pattern, Counterspell, Major ImageLevel 4: Confusion, PolymorphLevel 5: Dominate Person, Wall of StoneLevel 6: Mass SuggestionLevel 7: Reverse GravityLevel 8: EarthquakeLevel 9: Yeah, okay, Wish, fine.The general idea is that anytime you are in a social situation, you cast Subtle illusions and enchantments to manipulate people without getting caught, and when you're in the thick of combat, you throw AoE control spells that screw over anybody who isn't your friend. And because Careful and Subtle are cheap, you have more longevity than a sorcerer who has to burn slots to Twin Haste and Heighten Polymorph some more. Not sure Earth Tremor and Confusion are really worth it. They'd probably get chucked aside for some defense or blast magic.Sword Burst in there because kamikaze crazy careful sorcerers can run in and get themselves killed without hurting their allies, LOL.</blockquote>
