[QUOTE="Jack, post: 446071, member: 4078"] newby alert i've seen a few suggested lists of known spells for sorcerors on these boards. most of them seem to be designed with a mid to high level sorceror in mind. the first level spells are often something like: magic missile, shield, mage armour, feather fall, unseen servant. well that's fine if you're a mid to high level sorceror. but lets face it, if you're starting off at first level none of those spells are going to help you contribute much in a combat. some are very useful defensive spells. but where's your offence? well after all that intro my question is if you were starring with a first level sorceror which spells would you take at first level? i'm almost inclined to take sleep. I know sleep will be useless at high levels but it just seems such a useful offensive spell at low levels - especially when you can be casting 4 sleeps a day - that I just think you've got to take it, and just accept if you get to high levels that's one known spell "wasted". what's the alternative? are there other first level spells that are really useful at first level and still useful later on?
