just for fun, playing with disintegrate

[parinho7]

i was trying to find ways to maximize the damage of a 20 level wizard with the disintegrate spell
correct me if any of these are wrong and tell me if there is anything i can do to increase the damage

-wizard(10)/red wizard(10)
-feats:
>easy metamagic (twin spell)
>easy metamagic (empower spell)
>arcane thesis (disintegrate)
>sudden maximize
>sudden empower
>twin spell

>cast (free action) quicken sudden empowered disintegrate (40d6) potential damage: 60-360
>cast: twin empowered disintegrate + sudden maximize (2 x 40d6 + maximized) potential damage: 340-840 (only one of the twin spells is empowered and maximized right???

TOTAL: 400-1200

using a belt of battle: 800-2400

You missed an easy one: Split Ray. Only costs +2 spell levels and for disintigrate is basically identical to Twin Spell for the damage increase.

Also, if you're taking Arcane Thesis, why all the Sudden Metamagic feats? They suck, and AT doesn't help them at all.

One thing ot look at for prolonged necrotic[/c] transmutational death dealing: Residual Magic feat from C.Mage. Every other round, you can basically get a metamagic feat applied without any increase in spell level. Also allows you to use your CL for casting from items like wands, not sure if that part helps so much, but the former certainly does.

Hmm.......... A rod of many wands (Complete Mage) allows you to activate 3 wands at once. With residual meta magic, You could cast a Twin, Split Disintegrate, then activate the rod to get a total of 12 Disintegrate rays. If you could get Disintegrate into a wand, this would be a death machine.
