There is a feat in the Dragonlance campaign setting which does the following: (this is 3.5)
"When you cast a spell, you can choose to increase its caster level at the cost of exhausting yourself.
Prerequisites: Iron Will, spellcaster level 1.
Benefit: When you cast a spell, you can choose to increase your caster level with that spell by 1, 2, or 3, but you are stunned for an equal number of rounds immediately after doing so. Your increased caster level affects all level based variables of the spell, including range, area of effect, spell penetration, and the difficulty of dispelling the spell. You can exceed the normal level-fixed limits of a spell with this feat, so a 9th level wizard could use Reserves of Strength to cast a fireball as a 12th-level wixard and deal 12d6 fire damage.
If you are not subject to stunning effects, you instead suffer 1d6, 3d6, or 5d6 points of damage when you call upon your Reserves of Strength."
Frankly I think that this is a pretty good feat to have. I wanted to know what your opinion on this feat is. I was going to take it for my mage but I also wanted to know whether you think that a cleric or druid can also benefit from taking this spell. I know that it requires Iron Will so some people may hesitate to take this feat but my mage already has to take Iron Will as a PrC prereq so I think it is worth it. Not sure about a cleric or a druid though.
