Best Sorcerer spells by level thread(s)?

[Heroditis]

Can someone kindly point me to the excellent thread(s) from this forum (I think) that did a break down on the most useful spells for a sorcerer broken down by level? I don't seem to be able to fing them on my own (which is not unusual for me ). I'm thinking of bringing a 10th level sorcerer into our current campaign, and it would be my first 3.x spell caster.

Thanks in advance,
Heroditis.

THIS might help some.

As for some general advice, apart from looking for spells you like and you seem fitting, do not pick up too many pure combat spells (like Fireball), rather make sure you cover a lot of breadth with your spell selection. Also try to get spells mostly, which could be useful more than once per day.

Here's a few staple spells, which every sorcerer should at least consider:

0 - Detect Magic, Light, Prestidigitation
1st - Magic Missile, Ray of Enfeeblement, Charm Person, Sleep, Mage Armor, Shield
2nd - Scorching Ray, See Invisibility, Glitterdust, Invisibility, Resist Energy, Web
3rd - Dispel Magic, Fireball, Suggestion, Slow, Haste, Fly, Gaseous Form
4th - Polymorph, Dimension Door, Enervation, Greater Invisibility, Evard's Black Tentacles
5th - Wall of Force, Feeblemind, Telekinesis

Perfect! That was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Thanee.

For second level, you can replace scorching ray with flaming sphere. That spell is nicely versatile (can be used for dealing damage or for tactical placement so as to prevent enemies from flanking an ally or passing through a thin corridor or bridge). And it deals more damage, over time, than other spells (2d6 per round, 1 round/level). Continuous damage that disrupt spellcasting.

I don't think Flaming Sphere would count as continuous damage, unless maybe you keep standing inside it, but then it's your very own fault.

Unless you were held or tanglefooted or something... Also useful for killing trolls and ogremages and other creatures that have regen X/fire, just leave the flaming sphere burninating their unconscious bodies.
