As far as the sonic/language spells, I'm really not sure - sorry.1st - Mage Armor would be in there somewhere unless I was creating the character at a pretty high level - it's just too useful for too long to not take it. If the sonic/language spells can be any level, I'd dump Color Spray for Comprehend Languages. Color Spray isn't really too useful anyway.2nd - Dump Melf's; that spell is crap. I'd take See Invisibility instead.3rd - I'd probably dump Fly for Greater Magic Weapon. If I was creating the character at a high level, I'd dump Dispel Magic instead.4th - I can't believe you didn't take what's probably the best 4th level spell in the game - Polymorph Other. It's an instant kill spell, a disguise spell, a buff spell, and a travel spell all rolled into one. I'd lose Ice Storm in favor of PO.5th - Definitely dump Permanency. It's the stupidest spell in 3e, because it's dispellable. I'm going to spend XP on making a spell permanent when I can just have it dispelled in the next fight? No thanks. I'd take Hold Monster instead.6th - Analyze Dweomer for a sorceror? Seems like a waste. IMO the best 6th level spells are, in order, Mass Haste, Greater Dispelling, Chain Lightning/Disentegrate, Tenser's Transformation. I'd take some combination of those.7th - Can't really argue with your picks here. Power Word Stun is good too.8th - I'd take Polymorph Any Object and Horrid Wilting. The first one is incredibly useful, and the second is a good high-level damage spell. Mind Blank is good too, especially if you have allies with bad Will saves.9th - I wouldn't take Wish. I wouldn't want to waste one of my three spell slots on a spell that costs 5,000 XP to cast. Meteor Swarm is also pretty crappy for a 9th level spell. Shapechange is great, Dominate Monster is good, and Mordenkainen's Disjunction, Prismatic Sphere, and Time Stop are also all good spells.</blockquote>
