Does epic spellcasting(wizard) require Intelligence 30?

[MonkeySage]

Reading over the rules for epic characters, it mentions in one place the need for 30 intelligence... but doesn't mention whether this just means bonus spells or epic spells in general.

It doesn't. What exactly were you looking at?

Epic spells are treated as 10th level spells, so you need Int 20 to cast them.

The following formulas are important to epic spellcasters.

Epic Spells Per Day
Knowledge (arcana), Knowledge (religion), or Knowledge (nature) ranks ÷ 10 (round down).

To Cast an Epic Spell
Spellcraft check (DC = epic spell’s Spellcraft DC).

Level of an Epic Spell
Epic spells are considered 10th level for the purpose of Concentration checks, spell resistance, and other determinations.

Saving Throw for an Epic Spell
DC = 20 + key ability modifier.
