(this is the reason for the two Spell Focus feats and the Skill Focus feat - Evocation for the damage dealing goodness, and Illusion for when you pick up spells from the Shadow Evocation and Shadow Conjouration lines - they only add to your flexibility, which, as a Sorceror base, is needful)</blockquote>
