The name is familiar, unfortunately I can't say I remember much of the character. I'm hopeful the Sorceress will be striking up coversations for a time yet, or at least until Karithia gets her religion running. Immteractions really can be what makes or breaks a cabal in my opinion, and hopefully an above amount for Warlock for a time might swell the numbers a bit.

And yes, scourge really is nasty for a conjurer. Can quite easily turn you into an invoker with an archon, given the right circumstances. I tried not to overuse it, using the elemental commands, wands, and lash, but it really is difficult not to be constantly tempted by it.
