Orange Ioun Stone?
I was designing a 20th level character for a campaign yesterday, and was saddened by the fact that I was 1 level short of 9th level spells.
My friend then told me that if I bought an Orange Ioun Stone, it would give me the 1 caster level I needed to be able to cast superior invisibility. I always thought it just improved things like making summons last longer and making your spells harder to dispel.
What will an Orange Ioun stone do?

It won't get you a caster level or a spell slot, it will just adjust your effective caster level as one level higher for determining the effects of spells you can already cast.
My mother says: those on fire should roll.

You are right, your friend is wrong.

According to the SRD an orange Ioun Stone gives you +1 caster level. This doesn't mean that you gain spells as though you were one level higher; it means that all of your spellcasting functions that reference caster level are 1 higher, such as penetrating SR, or level dependent variables of a number of spells.
