For spells, Limited Wish is a must to get your available spells up.  You might alsowant to look at Shadow Conjuration and Shadow Evocation, prefferably the greater versions.  These also greatly increase your effective spell use. Someone mentioned Maximize spell, but i would say stay away from Maximize Spell.  Empower spell is often just as good, adding 1/2 again damage for one spell level lesser.  By that i mean an Empowered 4th level spell costs the same slot as a Maximized 3rd level spell, a 6th level slot for both, but the Empowered 4th level will have higher damage and a higher DC most of the time.  Plus, you can use Empower 2, or even 3 times for mega damage.  Applying both would be nice,  but sorcerers don't have the feats to throw away on both.Spell Penetration, well i've heard its one of the best feats from players who play high level.  We've never played the levels where it would be usefull, so i'm not sure.  I'd wait till you get to those levels and see how many things are resisting your spells.</blockquote>
