Holy Flame Strike? [new spell]

[Caliber]

So the Cleric's player comes up to me and asks me about his character maybe researching a new spell. It seems he enjoys Flame Strike's half holy damage so much, he wants to make a new version that does ALL holy damage.

So where should this go, spell level wise?

I was thinking of +4 levels. I think there is a metamagic feat in Defenders of the Faith that lets you make any spell do half holy damage, at the cost of 4 levels.

Any opinions?

Actually, Sacred Spell is at the cost of two levels. But anyway...

A 1d6 (max 15d6) per level spell that does all holy damage (which is unblockable) effect would be hard to give a level to. I would suggest somewhere around 7th-8th level, but only if you keep the max damage the same. If you up the max damage to 20d6, it would probally be a 8th-9th level spell.

Hmm. I had originally figured the spell at 7th or so, so Sacred Spell being +2 works in fine.

Any other comments?
