It is possible to do, in this order:
-Use Circle Magic to increase Caster Level to 40th
-Then add your Spell Power after Circle Magic is done to further increase your Caster Level beyond 40th
So in other words,
can Spell Power stack with Circle Magic to raise Caster Level beyond 40th?
Below is a description of Circle Magic and Spell Power as written in 3.5 Dungeon Master:
One of the effects of a Red Wizard's Circle Magic ability is:
Increase the Circle Leader's Caster Level by one for every circle bonus level expended (Maximum Caster Level 40th).
Spell Power: At 2nd level, a Red Wizard gains a bonus that increases his effective caster level for purposes of determining level-dependent spell variables and for caster level checks. The bonus starts at +1 and increases at higher levels, as shown on Table 6–15. This ability stacks with other spell power benefits that affect spells from the Red Wizard’s specialist school.
Note: the Table 6-15 shows that Spell Power is increased by +1 for every 2 Red Wizard levels, so Red Wizard level 10 would have Spell Power +5
Also, does Red Wizard Spell Power stack with Archmage Spell Power? I think the Spell Power from both prestige classes should stack only for the caster's specialization school, since that's what it says in my Spell Power quote, but not sure.
The Archmage prestige class can have up to Spell Power +5, one per Archmage level. So a character with 5 levels in Archmage can have Spell Power +5.
Is the following calculation correct?
If a character is an Evoker 5/Red Wizard 10/Archmage 5
Evoker 5: 5 Caster Levels
Red Wizard 10 with Spell Power +5: 15 Caster Levels
Archmage 5 with Spell Power +5: 10
= 30 Caster Levels when casting Evocation spells
or in other words, Evocation spells have a base Caster Level of 20 + 10 bonus Caster Levels from Spell Power +10
If this same Evoker used Circle Magic to boost his Caster Level to the max, would his final Caster Level for Evocation spells be:
40: This assumes Circle Magic stacks with nothing
50: This assumes Circle Magic stacks with Spell Power +10, which is the sum of the Spell Power from the Red Wiz and Archmage's prestige classes.
So my post can be summarized in these 2 questions
Does Circle Magic stack with Spell Power or any other ability that raises Caster Level?
Does the Red Wizard and Archmage's Spell Power stack for spells cast from the school of specialization?
Thanks for any info!
