Like BoB said, it is quite good, but with an evil cleric you will have Blasphemy. Not very useful (how many evil guys are there out there?)

Sure, talos has scion of storm, but not ALL of their spells are electricity, so you may be tempted to take Spirit of Flame as well. that's
-1 feat.

Lightning Bolt, Static Charge, Ball Lightning, Chain Lightning, Destruction, Tremor, Acid Storm Evocation ,Fire Storm

Also, of these spells, none are IMHO a huge, mass destructive spell. Static charge tends to bounce around, but (at least for me) it never does as much as a fireball. The only two spells that I like from that list are the Storms, but they aren't lightening-oriented, so you have no scion of storms bonus on them.

flame strike, fire storm, meteor swarm, sunscorch

Yea. Something bad about that? flame strike is nearly on par with a priestly fireball, firestorm is crazy powerful, and meteor swarm is one of the most powerful spells in the game! Sunscorch and Agannazer's Scorcher are very helpful in the early game, and can serve as an effective troll killer.

Other than his mass destruction spells, Lathander also gets the spells Heal and Mass Heal for his domain. This is very, very useful, giving you an extra heal spell as soon as you hit that casting level.

Keep in mind with the element mastery feats, the ten spellcraft is modified by your INT modifier, so with a 3-1 INT you may need 14-15 spellcraft.
