Building a character for stand alone versatility -help please

I want to say thank you to everybody for continuing to give me ideas.

I'm sorta' down to just a few ideas with this build.

R2/ beguiler1 / favored soul1 / MT5 / bard1 / FL10
Love the double spontaneous combo, but 8th level spells. That's the cost of fluffing half elf.

R2/ Beguiler1 / Archivist1 / MT5 / bard1 / FL10
This is of course not double spontaneous, or 9th level spells, but does get the Archivist ability to cast nearly any spell. I'm beginning to like this alot. Though it doesn't give as many skills, it is so SAD with INT that it will bank plenty.

versatile spellcaster
Heighten Spell
practiced spellcaster
silent
Invisible Spell
practiced spellcaster
still

If still and silent and invisible spell, would casting a spell provoke AoA? no?

Again, given this, how do you gain access to 2nd level arcane and divine spells, to qualify for MT ?

VERSATILE SPELLCASTER:
. . .
For example, a sorcerer with this feat can expend two 2nd-level spell
slots to cast any 3rd-level spell he knows.

HEIGHTEN SPELL

. . .
The heightened spell is as difficult to prepare and cast as a spell of its effective level.


************
I do believe that it was Caedrus that first showed me that. There used to be a very specific custserv ruling on this over at wizards, but they deleted a bunch of files. Theurge Handbook

Here, also, is a list of examples where such things are written in WoC.

MT: Skills: Knowledge (arcana) 6 ranks, Knowledge (religion) 6 ranks.
Spells: Able to cast 2nd-level divine spells and 2nd-level arcane
spells.

In truth, any caster with a 1st level spell access and heighten spell is "Able to cast 2nd level spells". That's the way i read it, according to your emphasis.

If needed i can add this trick.
UNDETECTABLE ALIGNMENT
Abjuration
Level: Brd 1, Clr 2, Pal 2

Now we have a spell that's a second level spell being cast as a (heightened) second level spell.

etc. I see more cheese than this every day. Arcane Hierophant has more cheese than this without trying. In fact, i'm thinkin' of switchin' over.
 

Considering this one.. . .

Half Elf Neutral
Archivist2 / Sorcerer1/ godblooded LA+1/ MT 5/ Wildrunner1/ Arcane Hierophant10
10 12 10 - 18(28) 10 14(19) -stats (some stats could get much higher)
2 4 2 16 2 6 -cost

Vecna blooded; MM5; total immunity to all divination spells (even True Seeing), as well as an inner alarm that let's you know name appearance and location of the attempting diviner. (I've waited all my life to find this LA)

Endurance
Versatile Spellcaster
practiced spellcaster -Sorcerer
silent
Invisible Spell -not in this order
Deceptive Spell
TOUCH OF HEALING [reserve]

9th level divine of choice off Achivist @ CL17 DC28
8th level arcane blaster Sorcerer @ CL20 DC 23
-with versatile caster for more spontaneous blasting
Touch of Healing - heal 3 points per conjuration reserve spell level as a standard action, up to half the character level; and +1 conjuration (healing) caster bonus. (carry only two or three heal spells, party all day)
