Any Good Prestige Classes for Illusionists?

[Falling Icicle]

The title basically sums it up. I'm making a Gnome Illusionist (with 7 Str lol) for the new campaign we're starting. I was wondering if anyone has heard of any Prestige Classes that are good for Illusionists? I can't seem to find any in any of the books I have, except possibly the FR Shadow Adept, but I doubt the whole Shadow Weave thing would be appropriate for this campaign.

I also wouldn't mind any suggestions on feat selection. My DM has decided to give specialists the Spell Focus feat (in their speciality school) for free, so I'll already have that one. I was also thinking of picking up Craft Wondrous Item (at level 5) and Improved Toughness (level 6), but the rest of my feat picks are pretty much open to discussion.

Thanks!

[EDIT] I forgo to mention that my Forbidden schools are Enchantment and Necromancy, in case that makes any difference.

Shadow something-or-other, Races of Stone. Five levels, each level improves the "reality factor" of your figment spells by 10% (essentially allowing them to imitate the shadow evocation and shadow conjuration spells to some extent). Also some minor special abilities, I forget which. Full spellcasting progression, I think.

Shadowcraft mage... that 10% per level thing is actually the PrCs 3rd level ability and refers to spell level, not class level (ie. a 6th level programmed image spell mimicing a fireball gives 60% damage on a successful will save).. its a neat PrC, mostly designed towards boosting the effectiveness of the shadow type illusion spells + various tidbits.

I also liked Shadow Adept from players guide to faerun, tho thats not illusionist specific (but works well with it) and its a non-good class... ie most likely evil.

I am using a prestige class that I found on-line for my gnome sorcerer who specializes in illusions. Of course you'll have to get it approved by your DM, but the same holds true for prestige classes in any of the books.

That's a pretty cool class, thanks.

I have a couple of illusionist-specific homebrewed prcs... I'll post them if you'd like. I've got the Patternweaver, who specializes in the Pattern subschool; the Shadow Charlatan, who is kind of the snake oil salesman type (for instance, he makes healing potions whose effects disappear after a few hours); and the Invisible Friend, who is fascinated with children and fades into a world of invisibility where only children, fey and other invisible creatures can see him. That's a weird one, all right.
