[QUOTE="Zelc, post: 4237575, member: 40496"] You want stuff that gets you extra spells/powers per round. Schism is good. Imbue Familiar with spell slots something like that I forgot the name is good. Quicken Spell/Power is good. Long-lasting buff spells are good. You should also pick a better prestige class than Mage of the Arcane Order. Even Swiftblade could be good for the extra actions, even though you lose some caster levels. Incantrix is good for free persistify. You probably should have enough resources to not need reserve feats, especially since you'll be feat-starved for PrC qualifications and Expanded Knowledge and metamagic/metapsionics. The Wizard has better battlefield control spells than the Psion. If you want battlefield control, a Conjurer Specialist can't go wrong, although you do have plenty of resources per day so you may not want to give up the spell schools. Your choice. Use the Psion to pick up the slack on the other stuff. For instance, Telekinetic Thrust is a strong and multi-use power and is a bargain at only level 3. I like Temporal Acceleration better than Time Stop. Energy Wall is an interesting power that's often overlooked: it blocks LOS and deals damage which is great for disrupting spellcasting, it doesn't burn through power points, and it functions as an on-par AOE damage spell in a pinch at high levels when combo'd with Temporal Acceleration. By the way, don't take Psychic Reformation if you don't want your DM hitting you over the head repeatedly with a book :). Having access to any power in the game at the cost of 50 XP and a standard action is pretty darn cheesy :). [/QUOTE]
