I'm looking for ways to boost arcane knowledge. So far, I've thought of spells boosting intelligence like fox's cunning (are there others?) but are there other specific spells that can momentarily increase ranks in arcane knowledge?

thx

01-28-08, 01:52 PM yes, I meant Knowledge (arcana). I'll fix that in the title.

Actually, I've just found the Demoncall spell from the book of vile darkness. It gives +10 on one Knowledge (the planes), Knowledge (arcana) or Knowledge (religion) check.

Master of Knowledge (feat Heroes of Horror): +1 to all Knowledge
Collector of Stories (skill trick): +5 to identify a creature per encounter
Skill Focus(Knowledge(arcana)): duh
