CL boosting tricks

[Shade Kerrin]

So, I am looking to boost the CL of Force spells, in particular the 3rd level Chain Missile. I already have Arcane thesis and the two Reserve Force feats up for a total of 4, are there any other ways to do this?

Preferably something not dependant on race.

The spellgifted trait, for the school of magic it's from... The only downside is a reduction in CL for all spells from other schools...

Here are some ways.

The link is nice, but these are some of my favorites.

Spell Thematics is nice. +1CL to one spell of each level, and you can change it when you gain new spells.

Wild Mage dip + Practiced Spellcaster adds 1d6 each time you cast the spell, and you have one CL left over to offset the Spellgifted penalty

Reserves of Strength is a Dragonlance feat that lets you boost the CL by 1-3, but you are either stunned for 1-3 rounds, or take damage if you are immune to stunning. Only really useful if you have crazy CL since it arguable removes the CL cap completely.

UMD a Bead of Karma -- Better for Buffs.

If a wizard take Spontaneous Divination and levels of Ultimate Magus. You get a CL bump at 1,4,6, and 10, IIRC. Spontaneous casters can take Arcane Preparation instead.

BTW, some of these play well together. Wild Mage and UM both have UMD as a class skill.

Arcane Preparation won't work, since UM specifies that the spells must be prepared from a spellbook.

Thanks, gotta love the fast response time.

So from what I've got from here, I can achieve a CL of 20 at 10 without too much difficulty, which is enough for my needs
