This is a quickie; I read the "Bonus Spells" for Dragon Disciple PrC as being an additional spell up to the highest level the character can cast. Good so far. My questions are:
1. Is the Bonus Spell only an additional spell known, or additional spell slot per day, or both?
2. Does the character's caster level increase with Dragon Disciple levels that add bonus spells, or does the character keep the (lousy) caster level he has going into the prestige class?
Here is the description of the ability (this is OGL):
"Bonus Spells: Dragon disciples gain bonus spells as they gain levels in this prestige class, as if from having a high ability score, as given on Table: The Dragon Disciple. A bonus spell can be added to any level of spells the disciple already has the ability to cast.
If a character has more than one spellcasting class, he must decide to which class he adds each bonus spell as it is gained. Once a bonus spell has been applied, it cannot be shifted."
