06-19-05, 06:12 PM I'm building a character that uses spells such as Wall of Ice, Wall of Fire, etc. Is there any type of feat I can get that will allow the character to cast it as a higher level spell? Basically, say the caster can normally only create 100ft using Wall of Ice, I want him to be able to create more than that for his level. Is there any way I can bump his caster level up? Any metamagic feat that'll allow me to do this? To my knowledge, Empower Spell and Widen Spell will not work for this spell.

06-19-05, 07:28 PM Empower spell would increase the damage of damage-dealing walls. Widen spell only affects bursts, emanations, lines, or spreads. What you're looking for are items and prestige classes that give you +1 Caster level. There's an ion stone, Archmage, Red Wizard, Craft magic tattoo spell... just from the top of my head.
