I have never played BGT, only Tutu, so I have no idea about the Find Familiar scroll.

1. Yes, I agree that MM isn't very good until you get Improved Alacrity but at that point it's a good staple spell with its fast casting speed.

I'm playing a sorcerer through Tutu and later SoA and ToB right now ...

I wouldn't rely on wands to deal damage. They won't do as much damage as if you character casts the spell, and becomes completely useless once you get Improved Alacrity.

1. I woudn't miss Magic Missile if I were you. Charm is fun but not very useful in SoA and ToB. If you like Charm you can get ...

Good points. I didn't know the green protection scrolls couldn't be breached. If so, they are probably invaluable. I might have to use scrolls to get Limited Wish.

I will probably take Shapechange instead of Imprisonment since it seems to be much more versatile. I forgot about Skull Trap dealing ...

Indeed, interesting points Saros. Thanks.

JWD, yes Protection from Energy includes Protection from Elements but look here:

Cast Protection from Energy 1 time:
Fire 75%
Cold 75%
Lightning 75%
Acid 75%
Magic Energy 75%

Cast Protection from Energy 1 time and directly after, cast it once more:
Fire ...

I think Protection from Elements and Protection from Energy are both necessary if you don't want to duplicate scrolls with PI and for me that is an annoying way to deal with it. Multiple castings of Protection from Energy will not stack, so it will always only protect from 75% of the different kinds ...

Thanks for a very in-depth response and good luck on your solo run.

1. I got a powergame roll with just a few clicks when I created the sorcerer:

str 18 - For carrying loot
dex 19 - To hit with darts
con 16 - Possible to get the maximum 6hp/lvl
int 9 - Useless except for reading scrolls and ...

Sorcerer spell choises for soloing Ascension

Seems to be quite a common topic. I noticed that there are some recent threads about the sorcerer spell picks on this forum but I didn't think it would be polite to hijack them or revive older ones.

Therefore I thought it would be best to create a new one...

I'm planning on soloing the trilogy ...
