You can powergame out these limitations, but normally you won't have the DCs to make your attack spells truly dangerous (aggravated by the fact you're tossing lower level spells than a dedicated spellcaster) and some of the best self combat buffs and attack spells (many of them with a touch range) on the cleric list won't be of any use to you. Unless you pick practiced spellcaster (but, however, who won't take it?) you lower SL will also hurt your damage output.-Since you have many slots, you can leave open a good number of them. That further increases your versatility.-So I reasoned that my best bet was to make a utility caster, however not forgetting the attack option. At buffing, divining and crafting the MT is extremely good.-One of the best combos I found with a MT is Spectral hand+Cure spells. Combined with a Fly spell, I could zoom from one point of the battefield to another (this was a large battle, with a lot of dwarves fighting fire giants) and heal at will. Previously I buffed the party's barbarian so much that he glittered under a Detect magic spell like a christmas tree.-Don't type qith cold fingers, or you'll make many mistakes.</blockquote>
