Hi. It's been a long, LONG while since my last post, and it's the start of a new campaign. Let's set the scene: It's the Spelljammer campaign setting, and we've already been through 2 parties. I've died both times, one time through questionable decision-making and the other time through sheer bad luck and roleplay. Long story short - I need to roll another new character.
Circumstances: The current party includes a monk and a dragon shaman, therefore I was asked to make an arcane character mostly focused on blasting stuff. I feel like I'm too dumb to properly use Battlefield control, which is superior, as far as I've heard. The DM said that he prefers us to powergame... to a certain point. Hence digging out moderate exploits should be good, severe ones will be overruled. The line is rather obscure, But I'd just refrain from cheese as much as possible. Also, while I read several guides, I feel as if I might have messed a lot up or done beginner mistakes. Let me know.
Restrictions: Character must be 10th level, use 3,5 rulebooks, no specific campaign setting books (other than Spelljammer). Hence no Eberron, no Forgotten Realms, no Kingdoms of Khalamar, but Yes to Cityscape, Frostburn, etc. Online materials and Houserules are also out the window. Don't use Celerity, mass gating (summoned creatures are not permited to call in more creatures), and while I would very much like to include spells from other books, these will be held to closer scrutiny. Also, since the campaign is likely to be lengthy, do keep in mind future progression. Alignment restrictions don't matter in the rules context but will affect roleplay.
What you have to work with: (my current progress)
STR 12 DEX 18 CON 18 INT 20 WIS 12 CHA 14
(Conditions were that I could roll the diceroller as many times as I wanted to as long as I provided the DM with a screenshot. the +2 to INT is from being 10th level. These stats have no items or tomes included in them.)

While this is not a major problem, I would still love to hear outsider thoughts. I am always surprised how awesomely helpful this community is, and have come here dozens of times for inspiration. I have about 5 days, so I'd love to hear your thoughts once more. :)
