Why? To qualify for ScM early.

Anyways, I'm guessing the latter is the easiest. If the means to the (latter's) achievement is via a (cheap =< 900 GP) item, I'd be ecstatic. Otherwise, it'd have to be a feat whose effect remains for at least one level to be retrained, Psychic Reformed, or DCFSed.

On that note, anyone mind giving me the price of those 3 tricks off-hand?

Well...beguilers can get Spell Focus without any tricks, I know that.  Probably only in Divination, Enchantment, Illusion or Transmutation, though, cause I don't think they have any Abjuration, Conjuration, Evocation, or Necromancy spells...

EUREKA! Rod of Shadowblending from Complete Mage lets you transform Minor Image to Shadow Conjuration (it's as broken as it sounds). Now, I need to figure out how to buy one for 9k GP at level 1... Uh... What feats would help me do this? Craft? I don't have a spellbook to sell.

Addendum: Nevermind; I'm considering this in terms of those arena rules, and I don't think they'd allow buying a 9k GP item at level 1...
