Hey,

I am playing solo with sorcerer in ascension, and I was wondering...does the HLA "decrased spell casting time" stack upto 3 times maximum, or more? I can't choose it anymore once I chose the ability 3 times...this just made me wonder whether sorcerer no longer can do Abidalzing blasts with AC like he used to before refinement. Thanks!

Yes, they have been intentionally limited to 3 times DSCT + 2 (not 4) from Vecna + 1 from the Amulet of Power. They don't even get Aura Cleansing, but a weaker form, which lasts only for 1 time segment.

My gosh...talking about fast reply. Thanks so much! Anyhow...so then, I guess that means sorcerer cannot do the multi abidalzim and other powerful lvl 7-9 spells in a blast, huh? I wonder if this makes them weaker than standard mages...

Well, sorcerors already have a lot of advantages over normal mages (they don't need to pick memorization patterns, search for spell scrolls, and memorize more spells per level than mages) - this balances the odds a little :)

With all the +6 to spell casting speed, they can still chain a decent choice of spells during an Aura Cleansing, however the 'TS, IA, ADHWx6, rinse, repeat' part is removed - which should make the game more challenging (and interesting IMHO :) )

I see....one more question: my sorcerer can chose AC only once. Is this a bug or also a design?

I believe this is by design, too.
