Chromatic Orb, once you start hitting higher levels, stuns for 13 rounds with a failed save. If your sorc/wizard is taking GSF (trying to remember what school, I think it's evocation), it'll be hard for them to save against. Toss in high Charisma/Intel (sorc/wiz) and you can use it to stun away enemy characters for most, if not all, of a fight. I'll spoil you on some of the creatures it worked against:

Among others, I've had it work against the white wyrms (VERY useful when they're near a White Dragon) and all varieties of Hook Horror, including the matriarch. Anything in that chapter 3 going into chapter 4 range and it's very effective. Obviously, that drops later on, especially once you get Disentegrate and finger of death.
