Sorcerer spells and game questions

[super_smasher3]

I am planning on making a sorcerer character really soon and I am wondering what spells I should give him. I have only played BG1 once and am only about half way through SoA for the first time, so I don't know too much about spells or sorcerers. I read that they can have a maximum of 5 spells per spell level, but I'm not 100 percent sure. Anyway, any suggestions as to what spells I should give him would be appreciated. Here are some spells that I'm thinking of giving him (sort of in order from most wanted to least wanted, but not necisarily for some of the higher level spells):

Level 1:
1.Magic Missle
2.Chromatic Orb
3.Identify
4.Protection From Evil
5.Either Spook, Blindness, or Friends

Level 2:
1.Invisibility
2.Mirror Image
3.Melf's Acid Arrow
4.Horror
5.Ray of Enfeeblement

Level 3:
1.Haste
2.Dispel Magic
3.Detect Illusion
4.Flame Arrow
5.Slow

Level 4:
1.Stoneskin
2.Greater Malison
3.Farsight
4.Fireshield (Red)
5.Remove Curse

Level 5Note: I am not sure how many spells of this level I will be able to cast and at what level, but I'll list 5 still. Also note that this is where my spells really start to lose any real order because I don't know much about these spells.)
1.Chaos
2.Breach
3.Animate Dead
4.Lower Resitance
5.Minor Spell Turning?

Level 6 is where my knowledge of the spells really starts to falter, so I won't even go there. I also would really like to know the amount of spells you can cast for each spell level at each level that you're at. Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. I've been looking at this board for about 3 weeks, but this is only the second time I've posted and I'd just like to say that it's really good. I'd say the best I've seen. I like all the links and how there's a whole community of different message boards, a lot of which have the same people posting on multiple ones. Anyway, great forums guys and congrats mods, keep it up!

This is the best list of spells for a party sorcerer. IMO.
Hope this helps.

Thank's a lot, that was a great site! I have one more question. Does anybody know how many times you can cast a spell from each spell level at a given character level? Feel free to give your own opinions about spells still of course! =)

Gee, we don't spend too much time on this game at ALL!

[super_smasher3]

Lol SixOfSpades! I know what you mean. I actually got about a quarter of the way through this game when I first got it and then got sidetracked. I have NO CLUE HOW IN THE HECK THAT HEPPENED THOUGH! This game is sooo good! Anyway, now I've broken it out again and I'm really into it. It's better now because I use the internet a lot (I didn't used to EVER go on the internet) and talk to people about it and get mods. But the bad things is, I can't play untill Easter! I've decided to give up playing computor and video games for Lent. I don't like it, but hey, it's supposed to be a sacrifice and this was the best sacrifice that I could get. The good thing is, I can still go on the internet. This will give me some time to get to know some of the guys at Ironworks because I won't be busy playing the game. I'm probably already spending too much time on the internet, so I guess I should kind of cut that down a little. Hmmmmmm

Since, I already made this thread with a question on it, I figured I might as well use it for another question so I don't clog up the board too much. Anyway, here it goes. I jsut got out of the asylum and I faced Jon Irenicus with my *army* of crazy wizards. Anyway, I killed him, but 3 of my party members are dead (all my spellcasters...go figure) including the only one that can cast a raise dead spell. I was just wondering if there was a place fairly close that I could raise those people and come back and have them pick up their stuff. I could just reload, but I'd prefer to do it this way for roleplaying reasons. Also, if there's not a temple that I can go to and then come back to get their stuff, then is there at least a temple that I won't have to do too much fighting to get to. I might just take some of their best stuff and drop what I don't NEED if this is the case, but if I have to do any hard fights, then I would probably just reload as a last resort. Thanks in advance for any help!

You'll shortly after defeating Irenicus return to Brynnlaw, where there is a priest. You'll go back the way you came, so no difficult fights between you and the priest at that point. You wont be able to go back for your equipment after that however, best that you just carry with you the most important stuff (should be easy enough with the bag of holding) and give it back to them later.

Ok thanks! Ya that Bag of Holding is pretty cool, but really, I have TONS of items. I guess I'll just have to drop a bunch of the ones that I was planning to sell, like magical bolts and stuff. I have so much stuff that I filled up the bag of holding and all of my characters' inventories are STILL full or almost full. I should be able to manage though. After all, I don't really need money too much, and just dropping a bunch of things I was going to sell shouldn't be too bad.

Say no more! The BG2 Spells Reference for the rescue!

you might wanna try reloading, because if 3 of your characters are dead, and you just spent 15000 to get to spellhold, you may not have a lot of money left to ressurect them, as it can cost quite a bit of gold. it just depends on how many quests you did before you left and how much money you have.
