Baldur’s Gate 3 Storm Sorcerer Spells

The primary damage spells for this build are:

• Ray of Frost (Cantrip)
• Create Water (Cantrip)
• Witch Bolt (1st Level): 1d12 (concentration for another 1d12 following turn at least once)
• Lightning Bolt (3rd Level): 8d6
• Chain Lightning (6th Level): 10d8 x4 (per target chained to)

The strategy involves using Create Water from the Tempest Cleric multiclass to make enemies wet, increasing spell damage. Use Metamagic to extend the water effect (typically lasts three turns). Witch Bolt deals double damage to wet targets (4-24 damage, or 8-48 when Twin Spelled). Subsequent concentrations deal similar numbers. Lightning Bolt deals 16-48 damage (32-96 if wet), and Chain Lightning deals 20-80 damage per chain (40-160 if wet), multiplied by up to four targets.

Ray of Frost is used when Spell Slots are depleted, still dealing competitive damage due to frost skill vulnerability.

Utility spells can be learned for crowd control effects using Metamagic like Twin Spell.
