[QUOTE="drachasor, post: 4314875, member: 55655"] Sadly, only at-wills can be extended an extra round. So that's only Ray of Frost and Cloud of Daggers. It's mega-lame and disappointing, imho. If it worked with ANY wizard spell that had a duration, then I'd be all over Orbs. They'd really be awesome for control then. (I misread it the same way the first time. Reading through this thread set me straight). Personally, I think Orbs working any ANY spell for duration extension, Wands giving a boost to all attacks made with one spell (so it improves AoEs), and some sort of boost to the Staff would be nice bonuses for the Wizard. Sadly that's not how things work. Honestly, more troublesome is how much trouble Wizards seem to have hitting things at higher levels compared to people using weapons. Wands are good because they help you hit with a spell. That's huge. Even if you happen to roll well, you can't count on that. A wand helps ensure a hit when you really need it, which is very precious because there are so few ways that Wizards can increase their attack rolls (and they don't get nearly as many bonuses as some other classes can get).
