Anyone know where this PrC comes from?
What book it's found in ?
What the most current version is ?

The game producer you want is Paradigm Concepts, responsible for the no longer RPGA affiliated campaign Living Arcanis, which produced the prestige class. To find the prestige, please reference their book called Player's Guide to Arcanis.

Please note that there are two edition of the PGTA sourcebook. In the original version, the spellcaller contradicts itself on many levels. Things are very unclear whether the class is a 5 lvl or a 10 lvl prestige class. At a later date, Paradigm Concepts issued a revised version of their core rule book. In this latest edition, the prestige class is a 10 lvl progression. There may have been other minor changes to the class, but I can't remember for sure.

I wondered why I was having such a hard time finding it.
It "sounds" compatible game system wise ?
But I will have to see more information before I can make a solid assesment.

10-25-07, 09:22 AM The world of Arcanis is based on the concept of fantasy being set during the fall of the Roman Empire instead of the traditional Tolken-esque medievil fantasy. While there are many world specific items in the PGTA sourcebook, the Spellcaller prestige class is rather generic by itself.

Considering that the noticeable benefits are well balanced by the inherent drawback of the class due to a 10 level progression, I have never seen it as a "broken" class. Having GM'ed over one before, it never disrupted game play much. The prestige just turns a Sorc into a pseudo Sorc-Wiz hybrid.

(In gist, the spontaneous caster permanently loses 2 spell slots per spell level. This is offset by adding 2 spells known per spell level. On top of this, they can gain even more bonus spells known with a small XP expenditure. At higher level, these XP spells can even be used on spells not normally found on a Sorc's spell list.)
