spell power +1
Correct me If I'm wrong..
but Spell Power +1 , +2, or +3 is much more powerful than simply raising your spell DC.. it also gives you a bonus to caster level checks to overcome SR.
Getting Spell Power +2 is the equivalent of getting Spell Penetration **AND** Spell Foci in every school you can cast.
A silly Wiz 15 / Acm 5 with Greater Spell Penetration rolls caster level checks as if he were level 30. Hopefully MMII will have higher SR's... because unless i'm missing something, only Solars and Tarrasques can possibly resist.. and even then only on a 1, or a 2.
Which is why I too am becoming an Archmage one day. (with a +4 Headband of Int- hey... if I can make one, I can wear one.)

Sorry guys about my mini-rant on headbands of intellect 
I was just noticing that everyone seems to have one, but as I know, they are useful for spellcasters so I know that's why. Just found it odd that it's now just assumed you have one. It's probably because my campaign is a little on the magic poor side (to keep magic items magical) that I've noticed that.

I wrote "from X school" meaning the specialized school and I used it to increase the DC, not heighten the spell (The first option. Read under Circle Magic. Maximum +40 I believe)

Of course there are!! I don't know about Wizards, but Sorcerers can eaisly knock out a +6 Cloak of Charisma at 8th Level by socking away 18,000gp (not unreasonable as the Character Wealth Table suggests 27K) and the requisite exp and 36 days later, Bam!
Hell you can even throw in 660gp to hire 20 3rd level Mercneary Leaders to guard you during the 36 days if you are paranoid about being disturbed.
Spellcasters can now make magic items at low levels I wish people would stop looking cockeyed when the 9th level sorcerer shows up with +6 Cha and +6 Con items.

I know. I explained why I felt that way. I said that I tend to run a below average magic campaign that usually ends at lvl 7 so I'm just not used to seeing all the magic items that are in normal games. And yes, I know that this is not a standard campaign so my opinion is "wrong", I was just making an observation and it's a valid one - spellcasters all have ability increasing magic items now.
