05-19-06, 09:00 AM With the slough of options available from PHBII, and glancing at sorceror builds, I'm asking for contributions of notable arcane, scaling spells, from any book/setting.

(Particularly, the Arcane Thesis feat lets you pick a spell that you cast at +2 CL. I don't find any uncapped scaling CL-based spells.)

It seems they usually cap at CL 10 for lesser spells and 20 for high.

Dispel Magic is one example -- 10 for the 3rd level, 20 for the Greater 6th.

Then there's the usual Evocation-esque classics - Scorching Ray, Fireball and Disintegrate... but there must be others!
Please help. .

. . and Thanks ! :D

Take down a Dragon with it, then have your fighter and rogue ready attacks for it's initative, so that it's concentration is blown on the off chance it has still spell, eschew materials and silent spell.
