   -> Most any metamagic combos and practiced spellcaster
   -> Reset spells as desired

Heretic of the Faith to create a more Custom Luck Domain -> includes Guidance of the Avatar, Surge of Fortune, Miracle
Arcane Disciple(Luck) -> Put Guidance of the Avatar?, Surge of Fortune, and Miracle in the mantle

Improved Metamagic / Metamagic Mastery -> -1 all, -1 total

Reserves of Strength

Venerable Loredrake Dragonwrought Desert Kobold / Greater Draconic Ritual -> +2 net CL, +3 Mental Attributes

Metamagic Effect / Metaphysical Metamagic

Other Incantatrix Goodness

5 Open Metamagic Feats
2 Open Level Feats

--OBSERVE--

At level 3:  Cast a "Reserves of Strength", Persistent Alter Self, CL = 8 (8 HD form) w/ Arcanist's Gloves
   (costs 6 ability burn)

At level 8:  Metamagic Effect
At level 12: Supernatural Spell (Limited Wish) -> Psychic Reformation
At level 16: Miracle in the Mantle
At level 19: Improved Metamagic for madness

--DEFAULT FEAT CHOICES--

Open Feats:
   Practical Metamagic (Quicken)
   Practical Metamagic (Repeat)
Metamagic (Note: Reach/Chain/Sculpt Spell/Selective Spell would also be another path set, Repeat/Twin another):
   Invisible Spell
   Still
   Silent
   Quicken
   Repeat Spell

--Daily Ritual--

- Cast Repeated Limited Wish to Emulated Psychic Reformation:
- Change Spells Known for one off spells, change feat list to Echo, Practiced Spellcaster (Echoing), etc.
- Prepare via Arcane Preparation
- Change Spells Known to desired spontaneous list, change feats back to default list

--Questionable Rules Items--

- Assumes we can make a custom domain if we take "Heretic of the Faith" - not overpowered, since this is only done to snag one more spell anyway (Surge of Fortune)
- Assumes that a sorcerer using Arcane Preparation only needs to spend 1 round to prepare spells ... is there a better way to be able to cast Limited wish w/o experience twice?

--Preping Feat Choices--

Echo
Persistent
Practical Metamagic(Echo)
Adroit Casting (Echo)
Arcane Preparation

--Default Feat Choices--

Open Metamagic Choices:
   Still
   Silent
   Invisible
General:
   Rapid Metamagic
   Leadership
   Otherwordly
   Open
Notes:
   Adroit Casting (Still)
   Adroit Casting (Silent)

--Some Abilities of Note--

• All spells are Stilled, Silent, and Invisible with no LA.  Very hard to stop him from casting, can't detect that he is casting.
• Amazing CL with circle Magic, Reserves of strength allows breaking past CL limits, Apprentice (Caster) gives cohorts to fuel this.
• Use any crafting feat with Limited Wish -> Psychic Reformation (there and back).  Adapting the following feats allows this to quickly more than pay for itself: Apprentice (Craftsman) / Extraordinary Artisan / Legendary Artisan / Magical Artisan.
• Can cast Miracle, duplicating any cleric spell of level 8.
• Persistent spells with Metaphysical Metamagic / Metamagic Effect
• Has many more high-level spells known given the extra 5 slots from Signature Spell *2 and Mantle *3 (Note:  It isn't obvious to me that this is legal ... opinions?)

Almost a 1 year necro, but well worth it.  Here's one I'm working on now that is aimed at this level of versatility, plus immunity to AMF.

Sorcerer 2/Rainbow Servant 10/Dweomerkeeper 4/Incantatrix 4

Dragon Magic says sharing a spell list is enough to snag an Initiate feat.  Domains are easy enough to snag.  Initiate of Mystra + Supernatural Limited Wish PsyRef + Entire Cleric list + 20/20 casting + Metamagic Effect = OMGWTFBBQ

Other notables : Two additional spells from DK's Mantle ability, two free metamagic feats, at will arcane sight, 3 domains (refluff that puppy to prismatic dragons...), a nigh useless set of wings, the same action abuse a regular sorc gets (with more options), and most importantly, completely Cha SAD.

Now, future additions :
-snag Turn Undead, perhaps?
-Ironclad way of getting domain slots
-laugh maniacally at all Mystic Theurges!

Whats a metaphysical spell shaper?

[Shadowhunter]

A non-sex based PrC from the 3rd party Book of Erotic Fantasy.

Kells most notorious use of said PrC is metamagic abuse in all its forms.

[Rebel7284]

Kells most notorious use of said PrC is metamagic abuse in all its forms.

How do you use that PrC WITHOUT massive metamagic abuse?

[KellKheraptis]

A non-sex based PrC from the 3rd party Book of Erotic Fantasy.

Kells most notorious use of said PrC is metamagic abuse in all its forms.

The metamagic abuse is a cool side benefit, as that exists in a myriad of forms.  What I REALLY use it for is gaining the Sorcerer's superior casting mechanic on a Wizard.  My versatility sorc above, inspired by DavidWL and Solo, is meant to achieve roughly the same thing, without using 3rd party resources.
