The build so far is Sorcerer 1/Binder 2/Anima Mage 10/ ? 7

Feats: precocious apprentice, guided spell, split Ray, chain spell, and empower spell

Any fun ideas for the last 7 levels? We are likely to reach 20 but not too likely to get beyond that.

The rest of the party is an ubercharger, psion, cleric, beguiler/rogue, druid

Could ask your DM to extend the Anima Mage progression. If you take the Improved Binding feat you can get into Anima Mage without spending 2 levels on binder. 7 levels of Incantatrix or Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil never hurt anyone (other than your DM).

If you're not 100% keen on sorcerer, you could use the divine anima mage adaptation (needs to be approved by your DM), and then follow it up with tenebrous apostate, it's a 5 level prestige class that advances 4 levels of divine casting/4 levels of binding, though it does permanently make one of your vestiges tenebrous.

You could also get 6 levels in legacy champion and continue progressing anima mage's casting/binding progression, though that would arguably not work.

The rest of the party is an ubercharger, psion, cleric, beguiler/rogue, druid So you'll be Sorc 11 / EBL 12 at character level 13. That's a pretty good place to be.

If you could modify your feats a bit, you could go into Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil -- strong class, and useful for a Sorcerer who gets to focus spells on offense & utility since the Io7V handles defense nicely. You don't advance Binder but Sorcerer is frankly stronger, and Io7V is stronger yet.

If you want more dual-progression, you could go into Legacy Champion (Weapons of Legacy) for up to 6 levels. The other class abilities are useful iff your DM allows custom weapons of legacy. Don't take the 7th level unless you are going Epic and you can take all 10 levels.

If you want only a little more dual-progression, like you want to reach EBL 14 in specific, then consider the Uncanny Trickster 3-level PrC. Requires that your DM allows Skill Tricks. Then 4 levels of some caster PrC after that -- Incantatrix 4 is pretty spiffy (though the banned school can hurt), and Fatespinner 4 is fairly easy to enter.

From your feats you seem like more of a caster, but if you want to Gish, then Abjurant Champion is an obvious pick. Combo with vestiges like Paimon.
