    Skull trap is the winner in damage, so it gets an A.

    Icelance has its merits, it stuns low fortitude save enemies-mages, rogues-very well and can't be avoided.

    I like vampiric touch also, it adds nice amounts of HP, definitely not an F, especially if you consider it is one of the few mage spells which restore hit points.

    Flame arrow is good for one spesific target, BUT its DC is destined to suck as it has no school focus.

    These are the spells I would pick for a sorcerer on normal mod.
