Meaning, continue your Ultimate Magus progression and take whatever to fill the last few levels. That way, your character will be mechanically sound. Then reflavor everything so the powers you gain from leveling come from Tiamat.Ultimate Magus is a pretty generic prestige class. Why can the power of dual casting not be invested in you by Her Destructiveness personally? Really, it's just flavor, it need not have to do anything with the mechanics of your build.If you're dead set on it: the only divine-flavored pure arcane PrC I know of is the Arcane Devotee (Player's Guide to Faerûn). It's pretty good in that it doesn't lose caster levels, but offers kind of bland class features. The capstone is OK, and it's 5 levels long.Divine Oracle (Complete Divine) would be another option. Despite the name, it offers full casting advancement of any kind. It also offers special foresight benefits (Evasion-lookalike, Uncanny Dodge, stuff like that). DO is 10 levels long.</blockquote>
