However, +1 spell level is also a class ability of Archmage 3, what am I suppose to do with it?Normally if I level up in Archmage I get +1 spell level worth of spells, but of course I'm already a total 20th level caster because my archmage and wizard levels stack for caster level.  So what happens to that +1 level of spell progression?  Do I just lose it? Do I gain some sort of other benefit for being an epic level character now?Hmmm....Maybe I should pick up a level of sorcerer instead so when I get to Archmage 3 I can apply the +1 caster level to my sorcerer spells instead so I don't lose it....-Shadowkiller</blockquote>
