Boosting DCs for a Divine Caster

[Rechan]

I'm looking at the Archivist class, and considering a curser (Black Karma Curse, Curse of Missile Attraction, Bestow Curse, etc etc).

However, the schools of these spells are all across the board.

BKB: Enchantment.
Missile Attraction: Transmutation.
Bestow Curse: Necromancy.
Curse of Ill Fortune: Transmutation.

Etc etc.

So Spell Focus (School) isn't going to help me at all.

The only thing I can think of to boost my DCs is to boost my Int, which is obvious and still a little limited.

Suggestions?

Heighten spell will do it. That's probably the easiest option across all level ranges. There are a few items that will do it, but they tend to be expensive.

Well, its non-wotc, but the Ptolus book has an amulet that gives +2 to the DC of all spells cast for 50k.

Orange Ioun Stone?

This character is likely going to start out at level 3 or 4, so I wouldn't likely be getting a lot of mileage out of Heighten Spell or other metamagic spells anytime soon.

There are feats in one of Monte Cook's products which boost all spells with a specific descriptor... there's also "Malign Spell Focus" which is basically Spell Focus (Evil descriptor). It wouldn't be unbalanced to make a Spell Focus (curse descriptor) feat which gave a boost only to those specific spells. (But it would be a House Rule... )
