Cranking up the DC on low level spells

Also remember that hes and archmage, thus spell power is likely as are MUCH higher level spells. Sure he can cast charm person, but why not dominate person, or charm monster, or dominate monster. Low level spells have lower DCs, but an 18th level character doesn't rely on 1st level spells (other than maybe magic missle) for much of anything.

Of course one has to ask why your doing something to a 2nd level character with an 18th level one, or what the archmage could possibly want with a charmed 2nd level PC. He can summon creatures capable of killing several parties of 2nd lvl peons.

Heighten Spell will work...

IMC I decided that mages had a "power level," which was equal to the maximum level of spell they could cast; and that this is what is used instead of the spell level in the saving throw calculation. So your 18th-level mage will have DC of 19+ability bonus for his first level spells.

Which might make the Heighten Spell feat a bit more pointless, but I never liked it anyway...
