If the eldritch blast hits its target, the spell's area is centered on any corner of the target's space, even if the spell could normally be centered only on the caster. If the eldritch blast misses its target, the spell is lost with no effect. It takes a full-round action to cast the spell and fire the eldritch blast. Only an area spell with a casting time no greater than 1 standard action can be placed upon your eldritch blast. Only the first target of your eldritch blast is affected by the spell (for example, an eldritch chain spellblast centers the spell on the initial target, not on any of the secondary targets). If your eldritch blast doesn't specify a target, you can't apply this invocation to the blast. Treat spellblast as a spell whose level is equal to the area spell placed upon the eldritch blast (minimum 4th level). SO, I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts or ideas (or experience) about the spells that would be maximized the most when using the Spellblast ability?  If possible, please give a level by level breakdown of at least a few spells per level.   Since I'm a sorcerer, I really, really have to select my spells wisely.  Books that can be used are the PH, any of the "Complete" books for 3.5 as well as the Spell Compedium (which I realize repeats most of the spells from these same books).  If you could explain why you feel a particulary spell (or spells) would work fantastically with this ability, then that would be greatly appreciated as well.  Also, I don't know why it's not clicking with me, but what do you think are some of the coolest featues or uses of this ability that you can think of?  In other words, is (or CAN) this ability really be THAT powerful?!?!  Thanks for your help......</blockquote>
