...Frankly, there's absolutely nothing good about PM. You want the flavor, be a dread necromancer instead. (weaker than wizard, though)

This may be more what you are looking for though.
the Holy Potency feat as one of its abilities allows you to do a rebuke, the next turn a negative energy spell that does damage will have your cha modifier added to the save dc. Pick a class with cha spellcasting and that is 2 cha to the save dc
Well the
Cloistered Cleric 1/Sorcerer 6/Incantatrix 10/X 3
Snowcasting+Rapid Metamagic+Flash Frost Spell+Lord of the Uttercold+Eschew Materials makes all your spells do negative energy damage. Thus Holy Potency works on all spells.
Throw in Dragonblood Subtype and Draconic Aura Cold as well as the two cold focus feats and you are talking
10+6+Spell Level+Cha+Cha
Well, you'll be eating lots of no-levels, so you might want to consider an accelerated entry. In fact, could you play a Necropolitan Wizard/ instead?

I am not really sure what you mean by "lots of no-levels". The pale master only loses one caster level, and that is at first level. After that, I gain several other cool powers (animate dead for free, lots of cool and nasty touch powers, undead armor affinity and an undead cohort) for no additional cost. The problem about the Dread Necro, is that 1. I have already played one several times, 2. I like Int better than Cha, and 3. The wizard's spell list is FAR better than the DN's.
Anyway, the UA Varient Necromancer gets improved undead, which is nice. The rest of the varients for Necromancers in UA aren't that good though.
Corpse Crafter always amuses me. Necropolitan is good for style, and then you can spell stitch yourself with Animate Dread Warrior.

Ah.
I must have been thinking 3.0

Rethinking... Well, you'll want Undead Leadership, of course.

Planar wiz 10 could add an alignment descriptor to spells, and then you could pick spell focus (evil) (or chaos, for PCMage ;)) for a bit extra save DC. Earth Spell + Heighten works here, too. Hm.
BTW, what book is incantrix in?
I'll google and see if I can find you some builds from the forums here ...
Split Ray.
.Any more ways to deal out as many negetive levels as fast as possible?
Hmmm... Looks like I will have to get that book

Be a Soul Eater/Warshaper.
There are a couple more effective and ridiculous ways of producing higher amounts of level loss per round ;) Unfortunately I know the game you're after and I have every intention of using those methods within. I'll fill you in later.
If you are attempting to join the same game I am, then it looks like I will have to 'take care of you' :D . Seriously though, I don't see your application on the game thread.
Anyways, I would prefer not to play as a soul eater so I can retain caster levels. I do want to maximize negetive level drain, but preferably without lossing many caster levels.
