I'm been running a game for a few months now and I'm on the BOSS of the game. I want some truly ridiculous spell combos with this chap.
Here's what I've got so far:

Explanations:
1. The build is a little unusual. I went with Fighter 2 for Nonassociated Class levels for the feats to be ready for Swiftblade later on. I went with Tainted Sorcerer over Scholar for the d8 HD though I am using 2 Corrupt Feats with the Heroes of Horror splat. Swiftblade for unstoppable 50% miss chance and Time Stops out of the butt. Spelldancer for reduction of metamagic cost and Escalation Mage as a decent end cap for the CR I want.
2. He has a Cleric which is where you see all the Cleric-y buffs.
3. The Haste has extra buffs from the Swiftblade.
4. Taint 30 is not as ridiculous as going for Taint 55 (Wis 16) or some other ludicrous number. Its high enough to make every spell formidable.
Goals:
1. Time Stop shenanigans. I went with a Swiftblade so he could easily poop out Time Stops at will. This is supposed to be an epic throw down. What are some of the shenanigans I could cook up with popping Time Stops every round - Swiftblade gets Quickened Hastes and high level Hastes turn into Time Stops.
2. Ocular Spell? You need a Standard Action to fill up on this, that's what Time Stop is for. Any interesting combos for a Nova? With an Arcane Spellsurge up, he can full round Nova with Ocular and then as a Swift come up with a 3rd Spell.
3. Show how Evil/Corrupt he is. I've got Rapture of Rupture for an Evil Spell. The other Corrupt spell I was thinking of going with is Absorb Strength: gaining a +10 bonus to Constitution for eating a Giant of some kind would give this guy lots of HP. I don't want a tiny little Nova to kill him.
Another Corrupt Spell as a suggestion, then?
Also, general evil spells would be nice. I'm tired of using Blasphemy as a go-to.
4. AN EPIC SPELL! I've never gone past 20 with character creation so I don't know how to optimize an Epic Spell.
I was thinking of a Summon Seed. I don't want to blow up the world with this guy, just have a few friends show up. I was thinking of using a Persisted Time Stop so I could use long casting time as a mitigation to lower the DC. Then I found out that Persisted Time Stop doesn't work, so I need some crafty summon.
The issue is his Spellcraft is max ranks and he still ends up with a pathetically low number. The other Epic I was thinking was a Contingent Resurrect on himself.
5. Interesting equipment? I was thinking of a Vest of Sadism and Masochism, the more damage you do to him and he does to others, the more powerful he is.
Restrictions:
1. No Undead. The PCs are fighting in a positive energy field, which will give them some Fast Healing to mitigate the beating but that means I can't use Undead Summons, Minions or what have you.
Playground. I know you guys like Optimizing. Help pimp my final boss!
