Optimising Evil Spells

[weckar]

I recently found the feat Malign Spell Focus, which is quite nice on an Aligned Caster Wizard (Evil).
What other (stacking) feats and items could one use for blanket buffs to Evil spells?

by strict raw, malign spell focus was converted into crappy old spell focus (evil) which only adds 1 to the dc instead of 2, but if your gm allows it, go for it. add spell focus (evil) on there too.

since you're a wizard already, you might use some acfs (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?504749-An-alternative-to-specialist-wizard-worth-it) namely abyssal specialist (allowing you to treat all (evil) spells as specialist school spells) and planar wizard allowing you to make all your spells (evil) giving you at least a +2 to all your dcs and letting you put whatever you want in your bonus slot, even if it does require 10 lvls of wizard.

Spell Focus(Evil) does not stack with other Spell Focus feats by its own text, right? So there is no point in taking it on top of (classic) Malign spell focus.

All my spells are already Evil due to Aligned Spellcaster, so no worries there :)

Abyssal Specialist confuses me a bit: If a spell specialises for the Abyssal 'school' but is also of your prohibited school, can you cast it? And is it only available to Drow?

Touch of the Blackened Soul can increase damage by 50% vs. good opponents (and also makes all spells evil).

Even better is Touch of the Enlightened Soul which makes your spells both [evil] and [good] and does +50% damage vs. evil creatures.

[Anthrowhale]

Oh, and another trick: take a level of sorcerer and then go Ultimate Magus. Add in Theurgic Specialist (Dragon #325). Since all spells are evil and in your specialist school your caster level spikes into undispellable territory for essentially all purposes.

...That is silly and I rather love it. Pile on Reserves of Strength and have ALL the books thrown at you.

Or Blasphemy or the like.

There is a symbiont that makes all spells with the evil subtype be automatically empowered. Think it's from FF

Soul Tick, and it is from Fiend Folio.

Optional evil material components in the Book of Vile Darkness:
Agony (Liquid Pain) - +2 CL
Devil’s Heart - 10% chance the spell will remain prepared even after being cast
Humanoid Heart - 25% chance to +2 CL
Metallic Dragon Heart - 30% chance for +1 DC
Soul in Larval Form - +2 DC
Soul in Receptacle - +10 to overcome SR
Yugoloth’s Brain - 10% chance the spell wouldn't allow any saving throws; also, 10% chance caster will be affected along with the spell's area - with no saving throw (chances are separate)

Playing around a bit, it looks like:

Illumian[Krau] Beguiler 1/Aligned spellcaster[evil] Wizard(Abyssal specialist) 4/Ultimate Magus 10/Archmage 5
Human. Skill Focus[Spellcraft]
1. Extend Spell
3. Practiced Spellcaster[Beguiler]
6. Theurgic Specialist
9. Persistent Spell
12. Spell Focus[Evil]
15. Spell Focus[??]
Spell Access: Wizard 19/Beguiler 8
Caster Levels: Wizard 28/Beguiler 21/All [evil] spells 49

(edit: applying spell power from archmange and ultimate magus to caster level on both sides)

I believe there's special holy symbols in complete champion, at least one of which grants +1 CL on [Evil] spells. Minor, but IIRC those things are dirt cheap.

I think the +CL to Evil spells stuff, the Aligned Spellcaster ACF, the Abyssal Specialist ACF, the Focused Specialist ACF, and a Soul Tick could be combined in(to) a blaster build to great effect. Theurgic Specialist might take it a bit too far, though.

Don't forget to add Reserves of Strength
