Introduction
This hybrid Sorceress pairs Fire burst from Combustion with Cold coverage from Frozen Orb, which helps against mixed resistances and immunities. It excels at farming and steady progress through Hell, but it does not reach the raw output of a fully specialized Fire or Cold caster.

How to spend your points
- Start with Fire spells like Fire Bolt and Fire Ball until Combustion is available.
- Take Warmth, Teleport and the needed prerequisites with one point each.
- Bring in Frozen Orb later, once immunities in Hell start to matter.
- Max Combustion and Frozen Orb, then put most of the remaining points into Fire Mastery.
- Add one point to Cold Mastery if you want a slightly more balanced setup.

Final Thoughts
This build suits players who value versatile farming and immunity coverage over maximum single-element damage. If you want the highest raw output, a specialized Fire or Cold build will serve you better.
