[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 3509789, member: 12460"] By coincedence, I too am playing an 8th level wizard right now, and I have quite a few spells. My character scribes zealously in an endless pursuit of knowledge. I have a fondness for having any spell for any situation, which is why the wizard suits my tastes more than any other class.
