I have, in the works, a sorcerer/ASoC/Frost Mage/Pale Master. Right now, she's a decent caster, but I'm always looking to make her better. The main thing I'm stuck on, however, is spell selection.
I was thinking of taking the reserve feat Glacial Wrath. I know it'll be a bit tough to position with it, but I'm confident I can do it. Just want the community's thoughts.
Current spells:
0: Acid Splash, Daze, Light, Mark Rune, Ray of Frost, Resistance
1: Lesser Orb of Cold, Magic Missile, Protection from Alignment, Ray of Enfeeblement, Shield
2: Blindsight, Frst Breath, Ice Darts, Mirror Image
3: Displacement, Improved Mage Armor, Vampiric Touch
4: Ice Storm, Orb of Cold
5: Lesser Spell Mantle
Any 'Must-haves' that I missed? Any that I shouldn't even consider? She is Sorc 6/AS 3/Frost 1 ATM.

Re: Cold Based Blaster Sorcerer/Pale Master/Frost Mage Spell
If you pick Glass Doppelganger, you might just as well get the Shadow Simulcacrum (9) spell too.
Burst of Glacial Wrath is a level 9 cold spell, the problem is it doesn't kill things, it just freezes them at low health.

Yeah, I'll pick it up anyways. That way, I have a 9th level cold spell for the reserve feat.
