Agreed. Sorcerers should be getting all their points fed into agility and IQ. The other categories should be basically ignored until both agility and IQ are up in the mid/high 20s. With a low IQ, you'll find yourself doing poor damage from attack spells, whereas, with a high IQ, you'll mostly be doing damage on the upper end of the damage range.
