Another thing I was wonering about is spells that have multiple elemental effects in them.  One spell for two of the feats would be useful.The only reason I am trying to figure this out is that I am getting ready to go into the Red Hand of Doom and the DM said that there will be very little chance to rest.  I am going to try to play an arcane spellcaster, mainly because I doubt anyone else will.  If there are any other suggestions out there I am open to them.  I have put a little thought into the warlock, but no build ideas yet.</blockquote>
