For a further boost, using Split Ray would double the effectiveness of those spells.  (I don't know that I'd do that, though- that's boosting your spells 3 levels, and you don't have that many levels to work with.  YMMV.)Arcane Strike lets you convert spells into bonuses to attack and damage for your melee strikes.Reserve feats let you set aside a spell of a specific kind supernatural power- usually some kind of attack- and a boost to caster levels for specific kinds of spells. Bonus, since the powers granted are supernatural, you don't have to worry about SR, ASF, grappling, etc.If you wish to go a bit more whackadoo, you can take a couple of Feats in one of the Heritage lines.  The Celestial, Infernal and Draconic Heritage lines all contain feats that convert spell levels into some kind of attack power- usually an area effect attack.  Bonus, they're supernatural like the Reserve feats.The last 3 options are more viable if you multiclass into a full-spellcasting arcane class that also uses Charisma, like the Sorcerer, Warmage, and Battle Sorcerer.  Reminder- the latter 2 are also armored spellcasters.FWIW, don't forget to load up on Sonic spells- most critters don't stand up to them too well, and Eagle's Splendor (and its Mass version) doesn't only work for you, but for any Paladin, Cleric, Sorcerer, Marshal, Wilder, etc. in your party.</blockquote>
