Fire bolt scales on Intelligence, it has an Intelligence dice roll, so if you are low int then you have big chance to miss, why are you saying in the video that this is not true?
There is a circlet you can buy from a trader at the mushroom village in the underdark that gives you +3 health per lightning charge... also a necklace that give an extra bolt to your magic missile. Those 3 pieces have nice synergy.
Yes this is the best. Add the gloves that does reverberation found in the creche enemies keep getting prone. Though this build is better on evocation wizard as it does a lot of dmg. I use this on Gale every playthrough and Raphael and Orin just keeps lying on the floor the whole fight. It's really funny.
Man, I've been following you and your guides since my early days in Elden Ring. Your ideas are absolutely amazing and your help, priceless. So many ways to play BG3 but being a natural born Sorc, I'm definitely trying out your build! Please, keep up the great work. Can't wait for part two!
I always enjoyed his Elden Ring build videos. Even if I didn't entirely agree with every build he made, they were generally pretty good, but his editing and narration were fantastic.
Oh, this is the best guide I've seen on the internet. You explain everything down to the smallest detail. I don't even play as a sorcerer and yet I learned a few new things from your guide. I usually tend to skip parts of build videos, but this one I watched every minute. Better explained impossible. Thank you: D
Loving this build so far. The sorcery-point mechanic is really fun, and with the metamagics being so versatile, knocking out two goblins at once in the first grove fight using the same cantrip was extremely gratifying.
Prayers answered. I was watching a bunch of other BG3 build videos and thinking, "sure wish Nizar was into this game, cuz he would come up with something amazing!" Thank you. :)
Still running this staff on gale, mutliclassed him into sorcerer. Gave him as many ice spells as I could with white/silver draconic bloodline. 6 evocation/6 Draconic bloodline. Absolute monster.
@@akuma4593Did you chose Gale as your main character or can you change His race further? I'm asking because i didn't so how can you change His bloodline to draconic silver...
@edwoden3568 you have multiclass into draconic bloodline sorcerer. I just had him talk to Withers so I could also put his stats where I wanted them to be.
This is extremely good and +20 points right out the gate for being a guide that straight up tells you True Strike is awful, way too many that offer it up as an option. It's never a good option. One thing I will say is that White Dragon Ancestry is another good option, not only do you not have to worry about stacking your resistances by taking tiefling and a fire resist dragon, but you get Armor of Agathys from it, which is a great defensive spell usually only Warlocks get. There's also plenty of ice spells in the game to take advantage of the damage boost, with probably the best eventually being Cone of Cold which can do MASSIVE amounts of damage even without the ancestry.
For the amulet, I went for the elemental augmentation found in the creche. I now add my charisma modifier twice on my cantrips. With my multiplayer party, I casually dealth a twinned firebolt that dealth 41+35 damages. It's absolutely insane and would recommend anyone to take that over the arcane missile one, which is more for wizards, sorc being more attuned with elemental damages.
How do you add CHA *TWICE*??? Amulet, yes that's once... but sorcerers don't add CHA to their cantrips to start with? Edit: I just found out potent robes works for *any* cantrip which means that potent robes + necklace u mentioned would give 2x CHA / hit
DUDE YOU ROCK! As a brand new dad, I don't have time to really delve in and come up with builds on my own. However, with Elden Ring and now this build, you really breath fresh life into these games and I get pumped to dive back in to these games when I have sort of lost interest due to a lack of focus or direction. Thanks for another great guide and I look forward to more to come! P.S. Your videos are very fun and entertaining. You gotta find a spot to put your joke, "1+1 = 3, it was all part of the master plan." Simple but funny!
I love this video, whilst I want to learn my class better and play better, I also don't want to spoil myself too much. You did both of those really well and I appreciate it ! Once I'm higher level I'll look into your follow up video
FYI, if you need INT at some point, you can kill the ogres in Blighted Village and loot his Warped Headband of Intellect which gives you 17 INT when you need it.
Never clicked so fast in a video before, was so excited to see your thoughts and pov of the game, you're a really genius and determined person, your content have this awesome quality standard and I just can't thank you enough.
Thank you for splitting this into 2 parts. I've yet to progress to level 7+ and whilst I know of Nere, haven't got there yet so basically everything beyond 6 would be a spoiler lol.
BG3 is only my second game in this manner and I never played D&D, but I somehow managed to follow your guide before watching it by clicking on what looks/sounds cool.
Have been following you for a while now. The level of production and video editing that goes into these videos are amazing. Visually very pleasing to watch and love the amount of effort you put into your videos!
Upon watching your video, I realized I have been playing Baldur's Gate 3 as a sorcerer in a totally wrong way. I am 110% new to the game and only picked damage skills, ignoring all the defense/support skills. Luckily, I am only 20-30 hours into the game, so I guess I will replay it from the start again. Oh, thumbs up to your editing skills too! Very well presented!
If you use Storm Sorcerer, remember to focus purely on Call Lighting, Thunder ray, Shatter, Chromatic Orb Thunder, etc..... You will make extra damage with those. Also remember to give some one a create water level 1 spell.
Stormsorc/Tempest Cleric does insane dmg. Specially with Clerics channel divinity which makes one spell/long rest to do max dmg. If you get the enemies wet before hand and you will see some insane numbers!@@spellandshield
Create Water and Call Lighting is solid combo. 7-8 hard to say if you wanna roll with Fireball or Lightin Bolt. Though you get bonus from Lighting.@@spellandshield
@@spellandshieldit's pretty good imo since it has twin cast and multiclass with tempest cleric you can max damage your lightning and thunder spells and if the enemies are wet you get double damage going from a 30 dmg call lightning to 60 dmg for example. Plus twin casting haste is really good. And you can dip 1 level into wizard to learn other spells if you want.
Starting a campaign with a friend who is going as a warlock starting tonight, going to try these out. Can’t wait to show my friend some major magic damage. Thanks!
Used this build my entire play through and most battles were a breeze with this build. 11/10, my only changes was that I was a human draconic sorcerer.
Good video but getting Haste over Hold Person is better in my opinion. Twin cast haste on yourself and your best melee dps and now you have two super dps characters. You can double cast without having to spend sorcery points on quicken spell every turn or even just cast three times a turn, go nuts. Haste is super strong.
Playing sorcerer here on tactician and came across your video. Best guide I have seen so far, with in-depth info and not just trying to farm views. Very eye-opening too. I wish I had chosen sleep earlier. I underestimated it due to my bias towards higher levels (I spent too long in other D&D games being at level 10+). I know you didn’t mention this spell but I have been using cloud of daggers, and it has been pretty effective to me in specific battles when I can funnel enemies towards a certain path. (Level 4 here still.) I guess I also possibly missed my chance at making the deal with the old lady for the charisma bonus 😢
Hi! I know this comment is from 3 months ago but how was your experience with Sorcerer on tactician mode? I'll probably start as a sorcerer too but I'm a newbie so I like to hear others experiences!
@@TheJedi25 It’s funny you ask now, cause I just finished the game a week ago - on tactician too. (I had no idea I took me 3 months to finish it, I guess that’s adult life lol) Sorcerer is actually pretty good. Having a character focused on charisma really helps with conversations. Metamagic is really powerful - imagine casting haste on two targets at once, or casting two fireballs in a single round. You have to choose your spells more carefully than a wizard, but it matters little because at the end of the day you will be using the same spells most of the time, and you can always use scrolls directly too. You can have a very solid DC with the draconic sorcerer too, and with items that give you AC when you don’t wear armor, and items that give you dexterity bonus, your character can be quite tanky too. Also counterspell is vital. I can’t imagine myself without it, with all those enemies casting crazy level 6 spells at the end of the game. At the end of the day, not a lot of secrets to build a pure draconian sorcerer. Get as much charisma as possible, decide whether you need dexterity based on gear, make sure you choose twinned and quickened spell among your metamagic choices, that counterspell, magic missile, haste and fireball are part of your set of spells, and honestly you are good to go for the most part. There are also some crazy builds out there for storm sorcerer, but I’m not as knowledgeable on those. And wild magic sorcerer, that I know absolutely nothing about.
@@hudsonps4669 Wow, thank you for the tips! I'm planning on playing as a draconic bloodline Sorcerer so everything you said will be extremely useful, specially the counterspell. And congrats on completing the game on tactician, I hope I can do the same lol
I have a vague interest in this game, so cool to see you start making builds in it. I played tons of your ER builds, it gave me incentive to stay in lands between for like 150 more hours than I wouldn't otherwise.
Games great 98/100. I had no issues w bugs through the first two acts and ran into some in act three but other than that the game is phenomenally well done 👍
Another way I did is to start 2 levels with Warlock. The eldritch blast cantrip + hex is more than enough to blast through early acts and you dont need to use sorc level 1 or 2 offensive spells anymore.
Homie you just made me like this game after a long time of me not really vibing with the combat. Thank you so much. I'm finally having some fun after understanding some basics!
Honestly for racial bonuses its a toss up between half elf (shield prof, extra cantrip, dark vision, no sleep, charmed resistance) or duergar (superior dark vision, enlarge for str checks, free 'per battle' until long rest invisibility) if you're going draconic sorc you get the resistance for free at 6. Dont complete volos quest yet, you can pickpocket him without repercussion for gold, sm healing pots, supply, thieves tools, and a smattering of scrolls. If he cathes you he will just run away for a minute and come back. Hire a hireling and keep reapeccing it to reset volo inventory (plus pickpicket withers as there is nothing that happens when caught to get your gold back) Early level staff just go to reacue the counselor and you get that sparking staff. When you damage with a spell you get lightning charges with deal an additional 1 damage, when 5 charges are gathered hot your target with an aoe for 1d8 lightning damage... pretty much every cast of magic missle
Watch out of you do that too much Volo will turn against you and the entire camp will attack your team. Just fake buy some item to check is relation stat with you. If it’s too low just give him some stuff. It happens to me in honor mode and I almost lost the game in my camp.
I don’t know anything about D&D or BG3 so my first playthrough was going to be all experimental and just for fun. I made a Dragonborn gold fire sorcerer high half elf, with charlatan background because it sounded dope. I’ve never once lost a dice roll on persuasion or sleight of hand. I’ve had such a blast just ripping “IGNIS!” everywhere lol I’m still in act 1 but I haven’t once felt underleveled or anything. It’s balanced so far and I know sorcerer just gets better with time and levels. I put Karlach and Lae’zel out front and me and Shadowheart in the back for the all girl team and it’s just been so much fun! I was really intimidated at first but once I went into my first playthrough with the idea of it just being fun and experimental, instead of min/max and finding every little thing, I’ve enjoyed it so much.
when it comes to geat for sorcerer. I think the web/spider robes are the only option UNLESS you want to help Wyll hunt down the tiefling and you keep the chest piece he gets as a reward
Storm sorcery is severely overlooked. Being able to fly without being hit by reactions or opportunity attacks is very useful. Add on to the fact that you can fly after every spell cast as a bonus action and you will have major utility from that feature alone! (Think of all the places you couldnt reach because you didnt have a damn fly spell early game). It can also be used in combat to reach places your enemies cant, which when paired with the "distant spells" feature basically makes your sorc a damn watch tower of doom. Level 5 or 6 gives you a spell that you can repeatedly case without using a spell slot!!!
Storm sorcerer gives up a lot for fly. Draconic has free mage armor and extra HP, which are amazing early. Misty step items work seamlessly as a fly replacement.
Theres a circulate from the Hobgoblin scholar. Also located in the underdark, same camp you buy the necklace with the magic missiles. It gives you temp health whenever you gain lightening charges. It pairs nicely with the Spellsparker staff.
Dude I followed this guide on my third try and deff the best play thru yet. I need to go do the have quest now but I just got to Halsin and stuck w him
True Strike has exactly one, very specific and niche, use that I have been able to figure out. If you are a rogue, cant get advantage, can't threaten a target, and are dual-wielding, you could cast it and get your sneak attack with off-hand
One thing that I feel u missed. Stat wise ur spot on, but at level 3 take a wizard dip. With an int of 8 u can only set up one spell, but if u get the Ogre Lump's crown, it buffs ur int to 17 and u can prepare 4 spells. This will make u a level 2 sorc and a level 1 wizzie, but ur a level 3 caster! So being a wizzie, u can scribe level 2 spells and ur sorc can cast them. So u get all the wizzie spells for jus a single dip in wizard. Only down side, feats are class based so u only get 2 feats (level 5 and 9) instead of 3 (level 4,8 and 12). But the wizard dip is very powerful for the feat loss. Also the number of spells ur able to cast are caster level based so no loss there (at level 3 u can still cast 2 level 2 spells).
Great vid! I haven't been able to play BG3 yet, but I do love me some Sorcs and I planned on making that my first toon when I do get to play. I wish that they would include Aberrant Mind sorcs, though, but your sorc looks really fun to play!
Very cool video, I used to be a die hard wizard, but sorcerer is just infinitely better in BG3, some great insights in the video, and the spoilers were miniscule, just a perfect balance :)
Honestly the best guild video I’ve seen since the game came out. Every other video just rereads the same character level up table over and over/pretends this is dnd 5E. Thanks for marking useful items! I feel like items r such a massive part of this game
I like to make Drow sorcerers. Using 2 hand crossbows make them actually useful even without spell slots so you don't have to rest too much. Superior dark visin is really great too, an you can avoid the silly looks going bald, blue and full hellraiser looks
@@57precision Frankly thiefling isn't top anything by now, maybe people just like the looks and lore, dunno. If you want to min max, usually the best race for melee is half orc and for other is either wood elf or half wood elf (depending on with proficiencies your class will benefit more). Gith are also utra good, but I'd rank them just a bit lowed due to not having dark vision.
Sub after this vid. I have the physical deluxe edition preordered for ps5 but watching this makes me want to just get the base game now. Don't mind double dipping for Larian.
"Sleep Falls off Tremendously" Sleeping enemies are auto Crit when Hit, and if you have a Rogue in your party they hit really hard with their sneak attack crit. Sleep only needs a HP pool to hit and weakened Enemies fall in that threshold, so Sleep becomes amazing at helping to finish off tougher enemies by hitting them hard, Sleeping them then having Asterian go up and finish them off without using another Spell Slot.

You're so real for this
Tip: If you go Elf of Half Elf (High) you can use your race cantrip as Illusion and open up another class cantrip 😁
nice
Spellsparkler is an amazing staff early especially if you are using magic missle a lot. Each hit of the missle gives an extra lightning charge
There is a circlet you can buy from a trader at the mushroom village in the underdark that gives you +3 health per lightning charge... also a necklace that give an extra bolt to your magic missile. Those 3 pieces have nice synergy.
@danmoore5957 if im not mistaken, it's actually 3 temp hp when you get a lightning charge -- so it caps at 3 temp HP since temp HP can't stack.
Yes this is the best. Add the gloves that does reverberation found in the creche enemies keep getting prone. Though this build is better on evocation wizard as it does a lot of dmg. I use this on Gale every playthrough and Raphael and Orin just keeps lying on the floor the whole fight. It's really funny.

at level 5 you can pick fireball and replace a rank 1 spell for haste so you will have access to two level 3 spells instead of just 1.

Also counterspell is vital. I can’t imagine myself without it, with all those enemies casting crazy level 6 spells at the end of the game.
At the end of the day, not a lot of secrets to build a pure draconian sorcerer. Get as much charisma as possible, decide whether you need dexterity based on gear, make sure you choose twinned and quickened spell among your metamagic choices, that counterspell, magic missile, haste and fireball are part of your set of spells, and honestly you are good to go for the most part.
There are also some crazy builds out there for storm sorcerer, but I’m not as knowledgeable on those. And wild magic sorcerer, that I know absolutely nothing about.
@@hudsonps4669 Wow, thank you for the tips! I'm planning on playing as a draconic bloodline Sorcerer so everything you said will be extremely useful, specially the counterspell. And congrats on completing the game on tactician, I hope I can do the same lol
@@TheJedi25how is it going? I'm planning to play sorc as well.
I have a vague interest in this game, so cool to see you start making builds in it. I played tons of your ER builds, it gave me incentive to stay in lands between for like 150 more hours than I wouldn't otherwise.
glad to hear! If you have a vague interest in this game you should definitely try it out. It's a masterpiece and peak RPG.
Games great 98/100. I had no issues w bugs through the first two acts and ran into some in act three but other than that the game is phenomenally well done 👍
Highly recommend this game. It's sucked all of my game time out
Thanks, can't wait to try this build myself! It would be great to see your companion builds, too!
Another way I did is to start 2 levels with Warlock. The eldritch blast cantrip + hex is more than enough to blast through early acts and you dont need to use sorc level 1 or 2 offensive spells anymore.
Can't wait for the follow up video on this! Great video!
I had so much fun following your guide on how to become op as vagabond early in elden ring, thanks yet again for another blast run
Bro you're guides are actually so easy to digest. It's wild. Legend
I LOVE your channel my dude! So many useful tipps OMG !!
Another good thing about ray of frost is that many enemies that are strong against fire have a weakness to cold, especially those immune to fire
First guide that made sense and I happily watched the entire thing!
This was the most clear and concise explanation I have found out of many other videos. Thank you for this help.
Homie you just made me like this game after a long time of me not really vibing with the combat. Thank you so much. I'm finally having some fun after understanding some basics!
Thanks so much for this guide! I've NEVER played DnD before... But heard great reviews about BG3, been wanting to try!!!
Thank you for this! I felt so bad for my party cause when i ran out of spells i was just useless. NO MORE!
I have seen many bg3 guides but this one is the best by far. PLEASE do more bg3 guides !
Nizar the goat of RPG builds💪🏼
ur character looks dope. probably the best I have seen.
Bruh, video is exceptional.
Finally good introduction to character creation. I was fucking lost. Will start over as now everything makes sense.
Cool seeing you make BG content... enjoyed a lot of your ER builds and stuff. Kept the game fresh for awhile!
Honestly for racial bonuses its a toss up between half elf (shield prof, extra cantrip, dark vision, no sleep, charmed resistance) or duergar (superior dark vision, enlarge for str checks, free 'per battle' until long rest invisibility) if you're going draconic sorc you get the resistance for free at 6.
Dont complete volos quest yet, you can pickpocket him without repercussion for gold, sm healing pots, supply, thieves tools, and a smattering of scrolls. If he cathes you he will just run away for a minute and come back. Hire a hireling and keep reapeccing it to reset volo inventory (plus pickpicket withers as there is nothing that happens when caught to get your gold back)
Early level staff just go to reacue the counselor and you get that sparking staff. When you damage with a spell you get lightning charges with deal an additional 1 damage, when 5 charges are gathered hot your target with an aoe for 1d8 lightning damage... pretty much every cast of magic missle
Watch out of you do that too much Volo will turn against you and the entire camp will attack your team. Just fake buy some item to check is relation stat with you. If it’s too low just give him some stuff. It happens to me in honor mode and I almost lost the game in my camp.
The best sorcerer guide so far!
Bro, I had a blast following your OP Mage build guide for Elden ring! Can't wait to start building another OP wizard monster in Baldurs gate
Great guide with great explanations for the choices for each level.
I don’t know anything about D&D or BG3 so my first playthrough was going to be all experimental and just for fun. I made a Dragonborn gold fire sorcerer high half elf, with charlatan background because it sounded dope. I’ve never once lost a dice roll on persuasion or sleight of hand. I’ve had such a blast just ripping “IGNIS!” everywhere lol I’m still in act 1 but I haven’t once felt underleveled or anything. It’s balanced so far and I know sorcerer just gets better with time and levels. I put Karlach and Lae’zel out front and me and Shadowheart in the back for the all girl team and it’s just been so much fun! I was really intimidated at first but once I went into my first playthrough with the idea of it just being fun and experimental, instead of min/max and finding every little thing, I’ve enjoyed it so much.
Githyanki also gets mage hand and they also get Enhance leap + you can get fire resistance from draconic Bloodline red, brass and gold.
when it comes to geat for sorcerer. I think the web/spider robes are the only option
UNLESS you want to help Wyll hunt down the tiefling and you keep the chest piece he gets as a reward
Fantastic build!! I'm waiting for more OP Baldur's Gate 3 builds!!
Your guide has convinced me to buy the game. Very informative stuff ty
Just like your ER videos, amazing. Always great content, kudos
My sorc build is getting wrecked. I'm going to follow your guide.
So excited to see what you come up with for Baldurs Gate 3! Bard pleeeeeeeease!
You're best! Thank you for all those details! Great one
Charisma hair is insane what an amazing detailed guide .
Thanks for the guide. I've been quite overwhelmed with all the spells and interactions so far
Storm sorcery is severely overlooked. Being able to fly without being hit by reactions or opportunity attacks is very useful. Add on to the fact that you can fly after every spell cast as a bonus action and you will have major utility from that feature alone! (Think of all the places you couldnt reach because you didnt have a damn fly spell early game). It can also be used in combat to reach places your enemies cant, which when paired with the "distant spells" feature basically makes your sorc a damn watch tower of doom. Level 5 or 6 gives you a spell that you can repeatedly case without using a spell slot!!!
But you can fly anyway when you have Spellslots 5/6 available, can't you?
Storm sorcerer gives up a lot for fly. Draconic has free mage armor and extra HP, which are amazing early. Misty step items work seamlessly as a fly replacement.
You can just cast command: drop weapon on the commander to get the flaming sword at the beginnning area. Using Shadowheart.
Theres a circulate from the Hobgoblin scholar. Also located in the underdark, same camp you buy the necklace with the magic missiles. It gives you temp health whenever you gain lightening charges. It pairs nicely with the Spellsparker staff.
Dude I followed this guide on my third try and deff the best play thru yet. I need to go do the have quest now but I just got to Halsin and stuck w him
Thanks for the guide. Used it and started getting way more value out of gale.
Ray of frost can also be used to put out fires, Or turn liquid surfaces into ice.
Great video exactly what I was looking for and more! 👍🏻
True Strike has exactly one, very specific and niche, use that I have been able to figure out. If you are a rogue, cant get advantage, can't threaten a target, and are dual-wielding, you could cast it and get your sneak attack with off-hand
Nizar! We keep buying the same games! Your guide is fire. Love seeing you in BGIII!
Thx finally a video that explains things for new players
I love the effort you put into these build guides 👍🏼
Yes! I was hoping you will be putting out BG3 builds. Please make a paladin one 😊
@4:06 "Two stones, one bird" Lol, nailed it.
One thing that I feel u missed. Stat wise ur spot on, but at level 3 take a wizard dip. With an int of 8 u can only set up one spell, but if u get the Ogre Lump's crown, it buffs ur int to 17 and u can prepare 4 spells. This will make u a level 2 sorc and a level 1 wizzie, but ur a level 3 caster! So being a wizzie, u can scribe level 2 spells and ur sorc can cast them. So u get all the wizzie spells for jus a single dip in wizard. Only down side, feats are class based so u only get 2 feats (level 5 and 9) instead of 3 (level 4,8 and 12). But the wizard dip is very powerful for the feat loss. Also the number of spells ur able to cast are caster level based so no loss there (at level 3 u can still cast 2 level 2 spells).
a great video, very informative without bullshit common in this type of videos
Great vid! I haven't been able to play BG3 yet, but I do love me some Sorcs and I planned on making that my first toon when I do get to play. I wish that they would include Aberrant Mind sorcs, though, but your sorc looks really fun to play!
Very cool video, I used to be a die hard wizard, but sorcerer is just infinitely better in BG3, some great insights in the video, and the spoilers were miniscule, just a perfect balance :)
Honestly the best guild video I’ve seen since the game came out. Every other video just rereads the same character level up table over and over/pretends this is dnd 5E. Thanks for marking useful items! I feel like items r such a massive part of this game
Now I want to see your storm sorcerer build! This fire build is nasty!
Gone back to this video over and over.
Buddy, you said at 14:37 that people have been scared of THE SPELL for the past decade? No, no, no, people have been scared of it for HALF A CENTURY!
I like to make Drow sorcerers. Using 2 hand crossbows make them actually useful even without spell slots so you don't have to rest too much. Superior dark visin is really great too, an you can avoid the silly looks going bald, blue and full hellraiser looks
I feel like every power build I see is a tiefling, and I'm sorry but I'm not going to be rocking a tail.
@@57precision Frankly thiefling isn't top anything by now, maybe people just like the looks and lore, dunno. If you want to min max, usually the best race for melee is half orc and for other is either wood elf or half wood elf (depending on with proficiencies your class will benefit more). Gith are also utra good, but I'd rank them just a bit lowed due to not having dark vision.
Sub after this vid. I have the physical deluxe edition preordered for ps5 but watching this makes me want to just get the base game now. Don't mind double dipping for Larian.
Really liked your Elden Ring builds. I'm glad to see you're doing builds for BG3.
A fun guide without a spoiler!!
"Sleep Falls off Tremendously"
Sleeping enemies are auto Crit when Hit, and if you have a Rogue in your party they hit really hard with their sneak attack crit. Sleep only needs a HP pool to hit and weakened Enemies fall in that threshold, so Sleep becomes amazing at helping to finish off tougher enemies by hitting them hard, Sleeping them then having Asterian go up and finish them off without using another Spell Slot.
