[QUOTE="Wyvernhand, post: 5865809, member: 97681"] Dandu is correct on this one. An archmage doesn't stop being an archmage because he's cast all of his 7th+ level spells. He can still use Mastery of Shaping or Mastery of Elements or any of his other High Arcana abilities on his 6th and lower level spells. All that matters is that he has the potential to cast 7th level spells in a given state (after prepping spells). Similarly, a character who uses Sanctum Spell to grant themselves the ability to cast 3rd level spells (a Sanctum Spell cast in one's sanctum IS actually 1 level higher, just like Heighten Spell) can't cast 3rd level spells outside of his sanctum, but he could in a given state (in his santum). Its nearly identical. Saying that a caster loses the features of his PrC if he casts all of his spells is wrong. By extension, so is saying that a wizard who leaves his sanctum loses his PrCs. Just because he can't do X at that moment, doesn't mean he can't do X ever. The other use is to lower spell levels to fit them under a cap. A weapon with Spellstoring is capped at 3rd level. You could store a Sanctum Enervation in one. Or a Sanctum Orb of Fire. You could make a Wand of Sanctum Cone of Cold, or Sanctum Feeblemind. If you were a War Weaver, you could use Sanctum Spell to put a 6th level spell in your Eldritch Tapestry. Etc. [/QUOTE]
