You can also take levels in the class in Complete Warrior..it reduces spell failure by 10% for the first level, and 5% every other level I think. You lose caster levels though for half of it.

But really, you don't need it.
I have a sorceress wearing a mithril shirt. It has a 10% ASF.
I have lost a total of 2 spells in well over a year of playing her.

ASF really isn't as bad as most people think it is. Yeah, so a mithril shirt and mithril buckler gives you 10% ASF. That still means that every spell you cast has a 90% chance of going off without a hitch. If thats too high, go for Padded Armor, describe it as a reinforced wizard's robe, and you'll only have 5% ASF. Its the equivolent of getting a natural 1 on an attack roll, except that you're casting a spell.
