IIRC from the warlock threads before there are something like 14447 standard actions 14400 rounds in a day.

Well, it takes 10 minutes+1 standard action (Standard action is for Frostfell.)
Shapechange into a Choker to make this just 10 minutes...
So that's 144 castings a day, 1008 a week.
3 weeks to equatorial freezing!
And you could make temporary refuges in this using an AMF. Just Persist it, and camp inside. Of course, the cleric supllying you with protective spells better have Initiate of Mystra....
Just an option for traveling through this thing.

You could throw in some Xixecals for fun.. http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/monsters/abomination.htm#xixecalDire Winter (Su) A xixecal always stands at the center of a permanent dire winter (epic spell) spell effect. If dispelled, the effect returns 1 minute later— the only way to permanently remove the effect is to slay the xixecal that generates it. Dire Winter Evocation [Cold] Spellcraft DC: 319 Components: V, S, XP Casting Time: 1 minute Range: 1,000 ft. Area: 1,000-ft.-radius emanation Duration: 20 hours Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: None To Develop: 2,871,000 gp; 58 days; 114,840 XP. Seed: energy (emanate 2d6 cold in 10-ft. radius) (DC 19). Factor: 100 times increase in base area (+400 DC). Mitigating factor: burn 10,000 XP (-100 DC). The creature or object targeted emanates bitter cold to a radius of 1,000 feet for 20 hours. The emanated cold deals 2d6 points of damage per round against unprotected creatures (the target is susceptible if not magically protected or otherwise resistant to the energy). The intense cold freezes water out of the air, causing constant snowfall and wind. The snow and wind produce a blizzard effect within the area. XP Cost 10,000 XP.

And this is pre-epic, though not by much. Plus, I could gate it in, but it would be hard... And oh, Chain Spell would be nice. Only problem is that I might replace Incantatrix with Dweomerkeeper, just for Supernatural, Undispellable spells. Of course, Dweomerkeeper's fun only requires 4 levels... and so does an Incantatrix's Metamagic Effect. Hell, I've got 2 levels to play with. Maybe a level dip in cleric, to get that extend spell for free? What else...

Last two levels : Tainted Sorcerer for 1, for arbitrarily high DC's and a zillion 23rd level spells/day, and say...Mindbender? Mindsight+Lifesight would be hawt.

My balancing 3.5 compendiumElemental mage test gameQuotesIt is a shame stupidity isn't painful. Totally true. Historians believe that most past civilizations would have endured for centuries longer if they had successfully determined Batman's alignment. Why are so many posts on the board the equivalent of " Dear Dr. Crotch, I keep punching myself in the crotch, and my groin hurts... what should I do? How can I make my groin stop hurting?" I suggest carving "Don't be a dick" into him with a knife. A dull, rusty knife. A dull, rusty, bent, flaming knife. Fluffy: It's over Steve! I've got the high ground! Steve: You underestimate my power! Fluffy: Don't try it, Steve! Steve: *charges* Fluffy: *three critical strikes* Steve: **** I don't even stat out commoners. Commoner = corpse that just isn't a zombie. Yet. When I think "Old Testament Boots of Peace" I think of a paladin curb-stomping an orc and screaming "Your death brings peace to this land!" Buy a small country. Or Pelor. Both are good investments.

Yeah, being a necroplitan would protect you from most of the spells effects. But last time I checked, wights would still hate you. Edit: Dweomerkeeper can't be used, because Fimbulwinter takes 10 minutes to cast, and Supernatural Spell takes 10 minutes to cast. Unless someone can direct me to a way to lower casting time... What should this combo be called?

You need to use the Piercing Cold Metamagic Feat or a Rod of Piercing Cold (page 111 of frostburn). So it bypass cold energy resistance as well as cold energy immunity.
Remember if you do dweomerkeeper you can't cast a supernatural spell if the casting time is greater than 1 standard action. Thus you will need to do a trick such as alactricous cogitation+rapid spell or supernatural wish replicating fimbulwinter to get the casting time down to 1 standard action.

Unless someone can direct me to a way to lower casting time... well, Rapid Spell should bring each one down to 1 minute (unless I'm totally reading that feat wrong -- wouldn't be the first time) oh, and  'ed ... by someone who evidently knows this kind of thing much better than I.

 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.

Uncanny Forethought + Arcane Spellsurge + Quicken Spell = Swift action  Now you use your standard action to cast a Twinned Greater Arcane Fusion, with Celerity and Greater Celerity stuffed inside. Viola, back at square one, as you use the standard action to recharge with Chaotic Spell Recall using an action point (of which you get one free each round), and still have your full round's worth of actions. Oh, and once it catches up, Time Stop to recharge fully.

It can be widened.
80 mile radius, anyone?
I like the time shorteners...
And piercing cold would be great.
And, well, too bad I can't fit Eldritch Theurge on this, just for Brimstone Blast. That might sound odd, but think about it for a moment: you deal 8 fire damage, 4 cold damage, and 4 negative energy damage, adn people inside have to make a reflex save or catch on fire.
Add in that metamagic feat that removes saves, and you have a hilarious wintry spell to cast.
"Oh no, permanent winter! Oh no, wights everywhere! Oh no, people bursting into fla... what the fuck?"
Of course, that is less optimal, 'cause it doesn't give you that fast healing if you're a necropolitan, unless you're immune to cold and fire damage.
