Need more Spells per day

[Shadowbane13]

Is there any feat or item or such that could increase the amount of spells one is given per day besides the int bonus and rings of wizardry?

Pearls of power

Theurge PrCs, when done right, can double your spell slots for a few levels at the cost of only 1 level. It's a trade off, since depending on the level you may be behind a spell level.

If they need to be a specific class's spells, Versatile Spellcaster. :smalltongue:

An item of(or Lucid Dreaming shenanigans for) Triad Spell combined with Arcane Manipulation. Technically a Triad Spell slot has a level of the spell level*3 since three spells occupy the same slot, but that is a grey area and would likely not be allowed except with a very permissive DM or one who want's to support your character concept. Of course that only bolsters lower level spells, but for the TO character I built around it that was fine since he pretty much only cast a 0 level spell with metamagic adjustments.

There isn't really a "quick fix" for that sort of thing. The items that actually give more spell slots (rings of wizardry, pearls of power) have been mentioned, and you're not really going to get much more than 1 extra slot out of a feat (Extra Slot from Complete Arcane), though Arcane Manipulation from Lost Empires of Faerun might give you some flexibility.

Your best bet is to find methods of contributing that don't drain your actual spell slots. See if you can get a couple useful wands—wands tend to be less useful than your actual spell slots for offense (since they use minimum CL and minimum save DC), but they still go a long way. Scrolls are similar. Staves are more expensive than wands, but they do the job better (you can use your save DC and your CL). You could also look into reserve feats from Complete Mage—they're more useful on a spontaneous caster than on a prepared caster (and you seem to be a Wizard), but they can still give you a way of getting minor magical effects on the field round after round without expending spell slots (though you do have to devote a spell slot to powering them).

What level are you playing at? This problem tends to solve itself with time, but of course you're looking for something that works right away and not something that'll work many levels down the road.

Ring of Wizardry does this and is on the SRD. There are four levels and they double your slots for the level. They're pricey, but depending on the character can be worth it (especially doubling level 1 and 2 slots on a character that uses Arcane Strike feat).

Edit: Nevermind these were already mentioned.

A scroll of Mordekainen's Lucubration (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/magesLucubration.htm) would be good, too.

A spell clock, repeating magical trap, or the spell energy transformation field can give you lots more spells per day, though only select ones that you choose when you set them up.

Various spells can give you repeatable additional effects, such as undermaster and mental pinnacle.

Summoning and calling spells, such as planar binding, summon monster XXX and Greenbound Summoning summon nature's ally XXX can pull in critters with more spellcasting for you.

A psychoactive skin of proteus, polymorph, metamorphosis, alter self, etc, combined with the Metamorphic Transfer or (Improved) Assume Supernatural Ability feats can get you effective spells, albeit as (Su) abilities. Shapechange can get that for you without any extra feats spent.

[edit] If you can get your hands on the soul crystal power (perhaps as a cerebremancer), you can store yesterday's spells in tomorrow's soul crystals. Cover them in quintessence for long-term storage.

Oh, and long duration effects can overlap days. Got a spell with a 24 hour duration? Cast an Extended version before going to sleep prior to your next adventuring day.

[edit 2] Any item that grants additional spell effects, even simple ones like a ring of feather falling, can save spell slots for more efficient use.

Make sure to load up on low level spells that are usable during later levels. Grease, for instance, is useful into epic levels. Even cantrips can hit seriously hard if you play your cards right. A Fell Drain sonic snap is a no-save, just suck. An automatic negative level that can only be avoided by resistance to sonic damage (which is quite rare), silence spells (which don't happen often), and immunity to negative levels (which is generally rare in any campaign without undead). Add on things like Chain Spell to spread the pain around.

If you find yourself using spells from mostly one school, ask your DM if you can rebuild as a specialist wizard (or focused specialist). If you are an elf, ask if you can retrain for the Elven Generalist alternate class feature.

My guy is actually a lvl 6 duskblade. I do already get a lot of spells per day but I'd like to cushion it a bit more cause I have run out several times. Granted I'm still able to just run up in there and smash things but spells are helpful in a lot of cases.

[Bobby Baratheon]

If you're willing to invest some feats and take anima mage, you can get a class ability (IIRC it's called Exploit Vestige, and I believe the spells per day are of your highest level) that gives an extra spell slot per power you elect not to use from your vestige. Example - Paimon has six powers. Maybe three are useful to you, sacrifice the other three and you have three extra spell slots. Shazam.

You could always buy a wand of alter self and use it to get various feats for your human racial bonus feats. There are lots of feats that grant spell-like abilities 1/day; use those to your advantage. Then later on, buy a psychoactive skin of proteus.

Any items you buy (including the above) should be made with Words of Creation for a free +1 to CL.

The spontaneous equivalent of a pearl of power is a memento magica, from Races of the Dragon.

[Troacctid]

A Circlet of Mages (MIC) gives you three spell levels' worth of extra spell slots (so three 1st level spells, one 3rd level spell, or one 1st and one 2nd level spell) and a +2 competence bonus to Concentration. It's cheaper than a Pearl of Power III.

I had. I was thinking of a spell that could be bought on a wand that would do that. It's that spell, isn't it?

And if it's affected by Sanctum Spell and the wand is created outside the crafter's sanctum, it costs the same as a level 3 wand to craft, because it IS a level 3 wand.

miser with magic from kingdom of kalamar campaign setting lets you reuse several spell levels per day with a pretty easy spellcraft check

[Bronk]

You could also find the Rod of Valmaxion, a minor artifact from Faerun that grants an additional spell per day per spell level you know.

Also, there was a similar thread a few years back that might have additional ideas:
