The Stormcaller
By Ralsu
The Stormcaller is a Sorcerer 10 who specializes in electricity spells
and spells that bring the fury of a storm against enemies. She selects
spells, Enhancements, and Feats that improve her damage with
electricity spells, that confuse the enemy with magical weather,
and that give her plenty of spell points to keep blasting away at
enemies. This is the build I use for my sorcerer, Towenaar.

Notes: The Stormcaller blasts
away at single enemies with Lightning Bolt. The Greater Magnetism III
Enhancement gives this and all electricity spells +40% damage. Any foe
strong enough to survive that can be shocked a little harder by
activating the Empower Spell Feat. When enemies swarm the Stormcaller
and his companions, he uses Hypnotism, Fog Cloud, Web, Sleet Storm, and
Solid Fog to slow them down or incapacitate them. From there, Sleet
Storm and Ball Lightning can provide nice area of effect damage. Both
can be used in conjunction with Empower Spell, and Ball Lightning reaps
the benefits of Greater Magnetism III.
