Looking for bonuses to concentration, other than from spells, that are valid in first-party Pathfinder and Ultimate Spheres of Power. Vast preference for truly generic bonuses, not just Casting Defensively, but both types are useful if they stack. Stuff coming from class levels or traits is likely not super useful to me, since my choices are made on those fronts, but if there's a notable juicy one, feel free to mention it just in case it helps someone else. Again, no spells, this is for a no-Vancian-spellcasting game.
I am of course aware that increasing my casting ability modifier is useful, but am leaving that out of this--those are sort of freebies.
What I've found thus far:
Generic Checks
Uncanny Concentration (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/uncanny-concentration/) (+2 untyped, feat, req. Combat Casting)
Tunic of Careful Casting (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/r-z/tunic-of-careful-casting/) (+2 untyped, item)
Focus Chew (https://aonprd.com/EquipmentMiscDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Focus%20chew) (+2 alchemical, 1 hr consumable)
Mage's assistant tincture (https://aonprd.com/EquipmentMiscDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Mage%27s%20assi stant) (+5 alchemical, 1 hr consumable, negative secondary effects)
Only Casting Defensively
Combat Casting (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/combat-casting) (+4 untyped, feat)
Gloves of Elvenkind (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/e-g/gloves-of-elvenkind/) (+5 competence, item)
Spellguard Bracers (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/a-b/spellguard-bracers/) (+2 untyped, item, also 3/day reroll of casting defensively checks taking better result)
Indirect benefits (e.g. CL bonuses)
Orange prism ioun stone (+1 untyped CL bonus, item, very expensive)
Numerology Cylinder (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/m-p/numerology-cylinder/) (+2 insight for CL checks, item, req. daily skill check)
For various reasons, it's basically always worth my time to pick up reliable bonuses to (generic) concentration checks, so if you have something, feel free to chime in.
