D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5e Gestalt] Overcoming Arcane Spell Failure?

Alternate Spell Source
Cast your Arcane spells as Divine (no Spell Failure)
Wear Mechanus armour for +10 ac and go to town casting Divine fireballs...

Cast Arcane spells as Divine? I'm not following... I've been playing DnD for about a year, and the most I'm familiar with is my original toon which is a Fighter. Magic is very new to me.

Is there a book I could read about this? Do you mean that I should change classes from Wizard to Cleric or something?

And the Bracer's... can't be?

Targeting a creature with Dispel Magic happens more often than targeting a single item.

No, just means you might want to read a guide to wizard. I recommend one of the free ones on the internet instead of buying on off of Amazon.

I have access to a range of books that my friend has, so actual book titles could help to. Is all I need the PH?

Depends on what you want to do, but the general answer is yes.

Alternate Spell Source is a feat in one of the Dragon Magazines that does exactly as one would think it does.
It allows you to cast Arcane spells as if they were Divine. Divine spells have no failure chance or any penalty at all for wearing big, bad-ass armor. This means you can make a wizard with all of his awesome spells, and have him go around in the heaviest armor available to you like a boss.

slightly off topic but just pointing out unless your GM has changed it that build is illegal by gestalt rules as on 1 track can have a Prc at any given level

asfor your ASF problem i believe there are feats and twilight armor enhancement on mithril armor should take your ASP to nearly nothing

Not sure I can see where I am violating any rules? I'm taking my first prestige class on the first level. Additionally, I'm only taking one level in a PrC at any given level. Therefore, I'm either taking two general classes, or 1 general class alongside a PrC. I may have misunderstood you.

It's a good idea, but I read that the prerequisite is for me to be able to cast 2nd level divine spells. I'm not too fond of the idea of sacrificing particular classes in my build just to be able to get a feat.
