I'm interested in building a battle sorcerer who uses his magic primarily to enchance his headbashing capability (and his allies too), I'm wondering what are some good spell choices. I'd like to build him for lowish/moderate level, probably 7. That's 3 third, 5 second, and 5 first level spells a day, with 1 third, 2 second, and 4 first level spells known.
Third level spell should probably be haste? Maybe even go into Swiftblade if the feat costs don't prove too high?
I'd like one second level spell to be Wraithstrike. Baleful Transposition, Swift Fly, and Blur all look like interesting second picks to me, though I'd be open to some sort of debuff. I'm not sure if Alter Self is too cheesy. The +4 to a stat spells are probably not worth it... right?
Grease makes the first level spell cut, Enlarge Person probably does too. One of the debuff rays might be fun, and/or something that interferes with enemy casting. Could always grab a Lesser Orb, I suppose.
Isn't there a Lion's Charge spell like the psionic version? That could be useful, probably better than a barb dip.
Feats should include Power Attack, the feat that improves your casting in armour to work with heavier armour, probably Leap Attack.
What do you guys think might be clever or fun? I'm more interested in thematic choices than 100% min/maxed ones, but I'd like him to be nonterrible.
