How can you increase caster level?

[Ozmar]

Let's say I am 11th level and want to cast create undead once as a 15th-level caster. Anyone know of a feat or magical item that could give me a one-time boost to caster level for this?

Orange Ioun Stone: +1 Caster Level
Create Magic Tattoo (Spell, Spell Compendium): +1 Caster level

Does sanctum spell give you a +1 caster level? I can't remember.

Those are good starts.

Oooo... I forgot about controlling it. Thanks!

And scroll: I want to cast the spell myself so I can apply my corpsecrafter and similar feats.

Thanks!

If you're arcane - ring of arcane might from complete arcane
if you're divine - prayer beads

Okay, the OP confuses me. You want 8th level spells at 11th level? Use a scroll or other item.

Cool:

Ring of arcane might: +1 caster level (20,000gp)
Orange Ioun Stone: +1 caster level (30,000gp)
Create Magic Tattoo (Spell, Spell Compendium): +1 caster level (300gp and must be 13th level)

Does sanctum spell give you a +1 caster level? Nope.

So we're up to +3... kinda pricey. I'll probably be 15th level by the time I can afford it.

Ah! Bead of karma is the bomb! 20,000gp for a one-time +4 caster level. That's perfect. But I need to get an arcane version of it. Guess I'd better talk to my artificer friend.

Create undead is 6th level. I can cast it (I am 12th, but I have an item that reduces my caster level by 1, so casting as 11th level). Create undead can create bigger undead as you gain caster level. To wit:

from SRD:
[B]Create Undead[/B]
Necromancy [Evil]
[B]Level:[/B] Clr 6, Death 6, Evil 6, Sor/Wiz 6
[B]Components:[/B] V, S, M
[B]Casting Time:[/B] 1 hour
[B]Range:[/B] Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
[B]Target:[/B] One corpse
[B]Duration:[/B] Instantaneous
[B]Saving Throw:[/B] None
[B]Spell Resistance:[/B] No
A much more potent spell than animate dead, this evil spell allows you to create more powerful sorts of undead: ghouls, ghasts, mummies, and mohrgs. The type or types of undead you can create is based on your caster level, as shown on the table below.
Caster Level	Undead Created
11th or lower	Ghoul
12th–14th	Ghast
15th–17th	Mummy
18th or higher	Mohrg
You may create less powerful undead than your level would allow if you choose. Created undead are not automatically under the control of their animator. If you are capable of commanding undead, you may attempt to command the undead creature as it forms.
This spell must be cast at night.
[I]Material Component:[/I] A clay pot filled with grave dirt and another filled with brackish water. The spell must be cast on a dead body. You must place a black onyx gem worth at least 50 gp per HD of the undead to be created into the mouth or eye socket of each corpse. The magic of the spell turns these gems into worthless shells.

Does that help?

Do not call up what ye cannot put down.

Make sure to have lots of fire on hand JIC.
