Basically, fire multiple spells in one casting, as well as cast spells per the AD&D fighters attack progression (3 spells per 2 rounds). Tends to eat up spells per day EXTREMELY fast though. The book also has the Eldritch swordsman. Essentially, you cast spells by attacking with a sword as the final component (true attacks, not touch attacks. Spells aren't wasted if you miss). It's the only way you can cast them, but you're immune to your own area effect spells. You gain a magic sword and robe, both of which use sacrificed spells to soak hit point damage or improve combat. Again, you gain the ability to cast several spells at once, as well as the improved spell casting progression, but you'll be using spells so quickly that if you are in combat more than once per adventure, your toast...Mongoose also has the Artillerist PrC for sorcerers (in, of all things, The Quintessential Sorcerer!! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ). The big bonuses are that in later levels 1) metamagic doesn't increase the spell casting times (so now Quicken Spell is possible), 2) immunity to your own direct damage causing spells, and 3) the ability to pass that immunity to members of your party!Of course, there is the  'Reignite' ability at 10th level (sacrifice a spell slot of equal or higher level to reignite a spell cast last round. Only does half damage, but it only takes a move equivalent action to do). With Quicken spell, you can cast 3 spells per round, but it will eat up your spells for the day</blockquote>
