Thank you Niara, another great write up (sorry, I read this just now. I did not visit this forum for a long time).
I would never play a wild magic char. For me it would only increase the number of reloads and I already play slow as hell.
I remember that somebody wrote about his experiance as wild mage in BG1.
You come fresh out of candlekeep, see your first wolf, cast your first spell and then a demon gates in and kills you.
So If I use a sorcerer, the only question would be the element of my sorcerer.
So which element has most (mechanically) different spells, which is most resisted by enemies and which is most used by enemies.
Espicially considering Larians obsession with AoE, ground and environment effects.
