Between 9th lv wizard spells and its already impressive array of SLAs, you will likely not get a chance to use that many of them (unless you start off with arcane spellsurge in tandem with multispell). And ideally, you want your titan to get in some good whacks as well, since that it what an iconic titan would do, rather than hang back as artillery.Well, on paper at least, a storm giant with 20 lvs of sorc is also a cr23-24 (depending on whether you round fractional cr up or down), and also gets caster lv24 courtesy of practiced spellcaster (I would actually recommend this). From a mechanical POV, your advanced titan shouldn't deserve too high a cr. It has a ton of options, but in a fight expected to last 4-5 rounds at most, it wouldn't have enough time/actions to take advantage of this.</blockquote>
