I'm looking for a way to abuse


Permanent Emanation [Epic]
One of your personal emanation spells becomes permanent.Prerequisites: Spellcraft 25 ranks, ability to cast the spell to be made permanent.


Benefit: Designate any one of your spells whose area is an emanation from you, such as detect magic. This spell effect is permanent (though you can dismiss or restart it as a free action). Effects that would normally dispel you spell instead suppress it for 2d4 rounds.


Special: This feat may be taken multiple times. Each


time, you select a different spell to become permanen


 from ELH.

With one level dip into Planar Shepard you can Planar Bubble at will without the need to concentrate, which is rather useful. So any offical way of doing this?

I don't know any specific means of doing that. However, you can still persist it using the Extra Old Cheddar trick from LordOfProcrastination's legendary Twice-Betrayer of Shar.
Peristent Spell can only be used on spells of "fixed or personal range," which excludes an awful lot of extremely handy buffing spells, particularly "touch" spells. However, if you apply the Reach Spell metamagic feat, a touch spell become a ray spell with a range of 30 ft. This is a "fixed range" in that it fits only into the PHB range category of "range expressed in feet." Is it now persistable? Sure thing.

But what about those other spells with non-touch, non-personal, non-fixed ranges you might want persistified? Enter "Ocular Spell" from Lords of Madness. It can grant a fixed range of 60 ft to "ray spells and spells with a target other than personal." Now, you and all of your friends can have Persistent buffs chosen from just about every spell on the books. I'll just let your imaginations run wild with the defensive and offensive ramifications of this build.

The Short and Fast of It: The Twice-Betrayer can persistify nearly any spell.
