[QUOTE="Elder-Basilisk, post: 102037, member: 3146"] I respect your right to make your own decisions but a sorceror with Identify!?! Yuck. If you have to cast it that often, you're in trouble (and since it's an expensive spell to cast no matter what, it's not that much more to just buy scrolls). Pick up Magic Missile, Grease, Feather fall, Burning Hands, Unseen Servant or something else. Anyway as to the question you actually asked: I'd take Glitterdust, or See Invisibility.
