Evening out the Arcane vs Psionics for damage

[Nifft]

So... (ok, so what if there is no way you could manage all these feats )

Arcane Thesis: fireball / energy sub: cold +0 -1 / lord of the uttercold +0 -1 / sanctum spell +0 -1 / sudden empower +0 -1 / sudden maximize +0 -1 / Sudden quicken +0 -1 sudden extend +0 -1 / sudden silent +0 -1 / sudden widen +0 -1 / anyorall of the +1 +0 metafeats (transdimensional, etc) / explosive spell+2 +1 / repeat spell +3 +2 / admixture +4 +3 / twin spell +4 +3... = 3rd level spell slot?

The "any sane DM" test means getting negative level adjustment probably won't work... but otherwise, yes, taste the insanity.

However, I don't like that kind of overcompensation. Instead of allowing broken meta-madness, I'd rather just fix the Core Wizard Evocations to be reasonable -- not as strong as Psionics, since that's one of the Core Psion's big strengths, but not as pointless as they are right now.
