Were you referring to this, or was there more to it that I didn’t see?
"One last power dwells here: the foolish Greek titan Epimetheus (which some bashers say translates as “afterthought”), who senselessly wanders both layers of Bytopia. On a recent visit to Yeoman, the 20-foot figure attracted the attention of some Ciphers in from Elysium. Upon noting Epimetheus’ “action without thought” mentality, these members of the Transcendent Order took to rattling their bone-boxes with him. Having seemingly attained the thoughtless life all Ciphers aspire to, they’ve taken to studying the titan and his actions. What this bodes for the Ciphers of the titan is a dark nobody’s got."

Epimetheus can cast arcane spells as a 15th-level sorcerer (6/9/9/8/8/8/8/5; save DC 20 + spell level). He has access to the following spells: 0 – arcane mark, dancing lights, ghost sound, mage hand, mending, message, open/close, prestidigitation, resistance; 1st – 5; 2nd – 5; 3rd – 4; 4th – 4; 5th – 4; 6th – 3; 7th – 3. The save DCs are Charisma-based.

I suggest we give him all of the standard greater titan spell-likes (and those for good-aligned greater titans).
Suggested remaining spells (0-level detailed in earlier post):
1st--expeditious retreat, floating disk, grease, jump, true strike
2nd--cat's grace, fog cloud, fox's cunning, mirror image, touch of idiocy
3rd--displacement, fly, haste, slow
4th--arcane eye, confusion, scrying, stone shape
5th--baleful polymorph, fabricate, major creation, transmute rock to mud
6th--flesh to stone, greater heroism, true seeing
7th--banishment, mass hold person, statue
Clay of Creation (Su): At will, as a full-round action, Epimetheus can shape clay into the form of any living non-unique creature that is not of extraplanar origin. The sculpture becomes a living creature with average statistics for its type. This creature will serve him until it dies, though Epimetheus usually sets it free after a specific service. Epimetheus may also set the creature to be a companion for another being of his choosing, at which point he relinquishes control over that creature.
However, Epimetheus is not as careful with his creations as his borther Prometheus, and there is a 45% chance each round that the creation goes berserk. The uncontrolled creation goes on a rampage, attacking the nearest living creature or smashing some object smaller than itself if no creature is within reach, then moving on to spread more destruction. Once a creation goes berserk, no known method can reestablish control. This chance increases to 60% chance if control has been relinquished to another creature.
Epimetheus can control only 50 HD worth of such creatures at a given time. If he exceeds this number, all the newly created creatures fall under his control, and any excess creatures from previous castings become uncontrolled. (Epimetheus chooses which creatures are released.)
