[QUOTE="Tzarevitch, post: 416530, member: 1792"] Your list looks good to me. There isn't anything on it that screams "poor choice." I do have some minor suggestions though. I'd probably swap mass charm or maze (depending on your preference) for Horrid Wilting or some other high-level damage spell. Otherwise the highest level directed damage spell you have is Chain Lightning at 6th lvl and it doesn't do that much. Unfortunately, most of the 6th lvl damage spells aren't any better. Disintegrate is good bit it is single target leaving you with zero true multiple target spells. Another possibility is to take Empower or Maximize so you can get more damage out of your 6th lvl Chain Lightning, that way you can keep your 8th lvl slots for what you really want. You might instead want to consider dropping whichever of your 7th level choices you like the least in favor of Delayed Blast Fireball (which you can substitute using your feat if you choose.) This goves you a real high-level damage spell. You also might want to dump the Spell Focus: Evocation feat as you don't actually have that many evocation spells that have saves and unlike Wizards, you don't get very many feats. I'd probably take another Energy Substitution (perhaps Acid) or Energy Add-Mix for added damage on the evocations you DO have.
