If you got the expansions, you might not get the 9th level spells. I'm going to post the spells that include expansions as well.

level 1: magic missile, burning hands, negative energy ray, mage armor.

level 2: Combust, see invisibility, Eagle's splendor (if you don't got cha bosting items), Knock, Melf's acid arrow.

Level 3: Fireball, Haste, Scintilating sphere, protection from elements,

Level 4: Ice storm, Improved invisibility, Phantasmal killer, Evard's black tentacles.

Level 5: Mestil's acid sheath , Hold monster, Firebrand, Summon Creature V

Level 6: Tenser's Transformation, Isaac's greater missile storm, Bigby's forceful hand.

Level 7: Shadow shield, Finger of death, Spell mantle, Bigby's grasping hand.

Level 8: Horrid wilting, Greater sanctuary, Sunburst, Premoniton.

Level 9: Greater spell mantle, Wail of the banshee, Black blade of disaster, Meteor swarm.

Most of these spells are those I use for all my Wizards, but I don't see the need to change them that much for a Sorcerer. But to make this as clear as it can be: use spells with damage, death effects and different kind of saves. Back yourself up with resistance spells, summons and henchmen. If you got all that your Sorcerer is going to be a great killing machine and a fun character to roleplay with.

Thing is i want the expansion but i don't have it yet... But i still want to know how Charisma helps the sorceror.

Charisma is the most inportant ability for the Sorcerer, since it gives them spells and improve the spell DC.

If you don't got 19 charisma, you won't get 9th level spells.

As a Sorcerer, you should at least have around 26-30 Charisma at lvl 40. Without expansions, you should have 21 Cha at lvl. 20, with items it can be boosted to around 28.

Enhanced cha/int trough items doesn't give bonus spells. Or does it? Does it increase spell DC instead?

Cha/int/wis increasement through spells and items gives both bonus spells and increased DC.
