You, a member of a beginner party, hear of a Cleric who provides Spellcasting Service of casting Miracle-Energy Transformation Field-Miracle at caster level of 24. That means that 9 levels of slots used inside the area instead produce you an effect of any selected spell of 8th level(if cleric spell) or lower, or of 7th level(if not cleric spell) or lower, as long as it does not have XP cost and material components arent more expensive than 100 gp. He can also be convinced to fill the Field with any other Cleric spell. He will not however cast any other spell for you, being absolutely obsessed with the Field. Additionally he sells handheld Command Word items of Bless(at caster level of 1) of any capacity for 720 gp per daily charge(did I count it right? Dont really remember), with intention of using it to charge up the Field - but of course you can use it in a conventional way too. Even greater, any customer also gets permanent free access to his Fields of Reach Hardening and Extended Reach Quick Potion, both also at caster level 24. He says its a gift of a friend(since he himself presumably cannot cast purely Sor/Wiz spells), feel free to believe or disbelieve him.
Additional conditions and clarification follow:
Any at-will feedings do not work. Yes, I know the text of spell mentions immovable rod, but that would be blatant cheating.
Spell traps are not unlimited, they need to charge up amount of hours equal for level of the spell per each cast(cantrips count as 1/2 for this, as usual), although their "battery" capacity is virtually limitless.
No Salt/Iron wall harvesting allowed, royal services will track you down.
You pay 6250 gp for XP and components, which count against your wealth-by-level, and 2000 gp for simple fact of spell slot being expended, which doesnt. It should be 2160, but he feels pretty generous.
For the purposes of this, Miracle can include any metamagic feats(except Intensify since its Epic), as long as resulting required spellslot still fits its capacity.
Touch spells must be enhanced by Reach Spell(which he has and can provide for even non-Miracle spells) to be properly included. Personal spells are no-go.
He will personally hunt you down if you ever get a Field from any other source, and he WILL know. (Please do note that doesnt mean you cannot, you`ll just have to deal with a murderous Cleric - or at least someone resembling one closely enough - of "at least" 17th level)
He has most useless domains in the world, whichever they are, so if you want for him to have domain spells on cleric list you need to provide respective Domain Draught.
(Greater) Consumptive Field chaining/stacking doesnt work. Thats just for if you beat him and decide to go crazy.
You need to know and be able to cast the spell included in the Field, but dont need to actually do it.
Metamagic cost reductions are not counted inside of Miracle and Field.
Excess Miracles and Fields will not produce any negative reaction of Powers That Be. Spending so much diamond dust is fine too, its a renewable resource. Somehow.
How do you use his services? As a more worldbuilding oriented question, how would the rest of the world use his services?
From my point of view, Miracle Extended Reach Create Magic Tattoo of Spell Resistance is awesome option - SR 18 for 48 hours is well worth the cost, at least on earlier stages of the game when it actually means something.
