[QUOTE="moritheil, post: 3524189, member: 30610"] As no one has pointed out Fast-MT yet, it falls to me to do the dirty work. IF your DM allows splatbook material, there is a feat called Precocious Apprentice that can be taken at 1st level. It allows a mage to cast a single 2nd-level spell, once per day, with a successful spellcraft check. IF your DM interprets this as satisfying "able to cast 2nd-level spells", you can get by with one level in the mage class of your choice and three levels in cleric. This enables you to get into MT two levels sooner. It is also hotly debated in terms of legality and balance. As to balance, people usually agree that the MT is weak, so this is the lesser issue. Regarding legality, everyone has his or her own idea of what "able to cast spells" should entail. Some don't like it because the Prec App only knows and can only cast one 2nd-level spell (but then, a 4th-level sorcerer only knows and can only cast one 2nd-level spell.) IF your DM allows Dragon magazine material, there is a feat called Theurgic casting that every MT should have: it allows you to add your caster levels when casting a spell that appears on both of your spell lists.
