So, combined with the Quickened orb of force in the same round, a Sorc 6/Incantatrix 10/Full Spellcasting 4 would deal 25d6+180 force damage with no saving throw (if all four ranged touch attacks hit, and touch AC is always underpowered)
Of course, if you take a PrC, you won't get the free Quicken capstone ability.
