This may not sound like much, but he's never beena DM, and some of those spells (Ice Storm, for example) have never come up in the game before, so I've been impressed with his apt choices.The other night a mirror-blob of unknown capabilities turned itself into a duplicate of the party's most physically powerful member (a centaur fighter/ranger) while absorbing the character into an extradimensional space within its body. (You could see the centaur in a foggy window-like area in the monster's torso, sturggling uselessly to get out). Mirror-centaur joined the other bad guys in attacking the party. The party had no idea whether harming the mirror-centaur would harm their friend, but in the meantime it was doing a lot of damage. That was when the sorcerer whipped out the Shadow Evocation-Otiluke's Resiliant Sphere: "Let's set this problem aside while we deal with our more obvious enemies." I've never seen anyone cast ORS before; I thought it was great.The Spectrum Rider</blockquote>
