Q218 Is there any way to boost Meldshaper Level?  The only thing that came to mind is Incarnate + Necrocarnate + Bloodline

why would a warmage have only a 10 int?

A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.

Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY!
They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.

Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.

Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...

3 reasons: Concentration, Spellcraft and Knowledge (Arcana). I don't care much for Warmage's Edge, and thus I only use int for skills. Sacred Excorcist is always a nice option, but it would be nice to find something that were a little less demanding in the skill point department.. Is there another option?

Eh, I'm a skill point junkie, I guess.

Could always grab Planar Touchstone: Catalogus of Enlightenment to grab the Sun domain power, which nets you a turning ability. Other than that, nothing I know of would allow you to progress existing spellcasting and provide turning.

Wish: "Duplicate any other spell of 6th level or lower, provided the spell is not of a school prohibited to you."

IMO as a DM, yes, but I don't know of any specific RAW. I believe Utterances and certainly Invocations have an effective "spell level". You're definitely covered up to Greater Invocations for Wish, but Dark can go over 6th.
Psionics I suppose falls under whatever transparency your campaign is running under, matching up the disciplines to schools if you have any banned.

FWIW, the most often used case in my games - I allow Limited Wish to replicate Psychic Reformation, of course, at the most dis-favorable XP cost RAW.

One of the halloween articles on the WotC site had him, not sure when, though.

I think it was one of the death knights, actually. They didn't explain the missing head part though.

Q 222:
For spells that grant you a Gaze Attack for a duration (Freezing Glance from Frostburn for example), is it assumed that it takes a Standard Action to use?

A222: No. By default, gaze attacks require no action to use. For the sake of balance, most* gaze attacks from powers or spells do require some action to activate (like the Eyes of the Basilisk power from Complete Psionic) or otherwise carry some restrictions (Freezing Glance can only affect one target per round).

*Cast in Stone (Spell Compendium) carries no restrictions, oddly enough.

Q223: A Druid 11 has Rapid Spell, and a 6th level spell slot devoted to a Rapid Spelled SNA 5. They also have a Ring of the Beast. Do they still get the effect of a SNA 6 or does the metamagic bit violate the clause on the ring?

A223
it kinda depends on interpretation:
in this case, "normal" would be a "rapid spell SNA" ... which would mean no (at least, AFAIC, RAI-wise)

a much more liberal interpretation, on the other hand .....

If you stop ignoring 289 pages telling what the intent is to stretch "more power" in your own god complexion of your interpretation trumps all to cover ability adjustments from aging then I will ignore a quarter page of rules that exist within a sidebar.
I think in this case the grammar is less important than whether the Str and Dex bonus provided to your created undead scales.
