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.
