[QUOTE="Pax, post: 1513534, member: 6875"] If you have access to Magic of Faerun - get Firebrand. It is EXTREMELY useful for combat in small, restricted speaces. 4th level spell, 1d6/level damage (15d6 cap), creates one 5'-radius burst [b]per caster level[/b]. Overlapping the bursts doesn't produce extra damage, though. And as with fireball, reflex for half. Glitterdust will be extremely useful in dark environments - one target or multiple, it'll coat 'em with gold [b]glowing[/b] sparkles. And has a chance of blinding them, too (as a GM, I think I'd apply a circumstance penalty of -2 or -3 to the blindness saves for creatures with light sensitivity, given the nature of the spell - but that'd be up to [i]your[/i] GM, of course). Instead of Dimension Door, pick up the one-level-higher "Lutzaen's Frequent Jaunt )also in Magic of Faerun). One dimension door per round, for 1 round per caster level, as a Move action. VERY good for short-term "stutter-teleport" mobility, and for combat maneuvering. And if you prefer Teleport, you can always swap out the LFJ once you pick up [b]greater[/b] teleport ... Melf's Acid arrow can beboth a single-target combat spell ... and, in some situations, a handy lockpick, too (acid damage isn't halved against metals, IIRC). Any of the Shadow Conjuration / Shadow Evocation spells are OBVIOUSLY spells you will consider MUST-HAVES. Reflective Disguise (from Underdark) may be [b]EXTREMELY[/b] useful to you, if it fits your character or you don't mind metagaming (makes you look like a member of the viewer's own species). There's a 6th-level "Mass" version, too. Shatterfloor is a cone-area, 3d level Sonic-damage spell from Magic of Faerun that has the added benefit of pulverising the top 6" of the floor below wherever you aim it. Given how delicate and spidery the Drow make parts of their cities, this could serve double-duty as a bridge-demolisher (especially effective if you do so [b]while pursuers are ON the bridge[/b] ... heh!) Bladebane (from Unapproachable East) gives any one weapon a single Bane property, of your choice. VERY versatile - whatever you'r facing, the fighter(s) get Bane weapons against it in short order. The Draconomicon also has several spells which are specially-advantaged for sorcerors (they gain +1 caster level for that spell), soe of which are quite nice. [/QUOTE]
