I don't quite see what it has to do with the question, tho. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />If you have Practiced Spellcaster (twice for good measure), then you are a Wiz5/Sor4 with caster level 9/8. You obviously can only cast 3rd/2nd level spells.This doesn't change the fact, however, that you cannot cast a 3rd level wizard spell with a caster level below 5.You seem to confuse this part, that you need a minimum caster level to cast a spell with that caster level would be used to determine what spells a character can cast. These are two different things (and the latter one is false, too).However, as I see it (after having thought about it a bit), this doesn't happen here (with the negative levels). If the character gains enough negative levels to lower the caster level to 3 (while still retaining 3rd level slots, not likely for the one with Practiced Spellcaster, but anyways <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />), then the 3rd level spell would still be cast at full caster level, but with a penalty to the effect, which reduces the effectively used caster level (for spell resistance checks, range, duration, effect, etc) to 3.That might be a valid argumentation. In general I agree with the conclusion, as said above.ByeThanee</blockquote>
