I've got a few spellcasters that are overwhelmed by the sheer number of spells compared to the limited number that a character can take. I 'm hoping that I can get a few quick spell lists along with the themes and reasoning behind the selections. I'm not looking for uber combinations, just varied and effective ones. Any help is appreciated.
