3: At "Soul Splice" time, was V level 15, or level 14? If 14, that would be quite an impressive jump, going for 14 to 16 on that few encounters. No?
Here are the encounters.
V turning the giant fiend to stone
V killing Kubota. (The previous two happened before V left to go to the island to be alone. Since no encounters happened between the battle and when V left, V may have leveled to 14 here, or has been level 14 for a while.)
Black Dragon (Possibly gave no xp, and V most likely isn't level 15 yet.)
Xykon(Probably gave no xp)
Divorce Lawyer
Slavers
Purple Wyrm
Finding Girard's message, and escaping the blast.
(Bounty Hunters come. V must be 15 by now. However, V may have been 15 before this.)
Freeing the slaves from the Empire of Blood
The battle with Z, and the battle with the kobold.
Saving Gootrude from a dragon.
Somewhere after the Black Dragon V became 15. Since the Black dragon said V only had 6th and 7th level Spell slots.

Counting V's ring of wizardry, and assuming the Geekery thread is correct on the level and intelligence (15 and 23) V should have 38 spells per day. For him to have "in excess of 25" he needs to be able to cast atleast 49 spells per day.
Is this evidence of his level and/or intelligence being higher?
edit: read the most recent posts, and using level 16 and int 24, he should still only be at 42 spells per day
A level 16 Wizard gets 28 spell slots.
V is a specialist, so add 8. 28 + 8= 36
Int 24 grants 10 bonus spells. 10 + 36 = 46
Ring of Wizadry grants 4 spells. 46 + 4 = 50.
