[QUOTE="Asha'man, post: 3777094, member: 52424"] Well, Vengeful Gaze of God was really only included as an example (and a rather crappy one, I might add) of how Epic levels are completely uncapped and you can go as high as you wish. As for most epic spells, it's not really all that hard to make your Spellcraft roll skyrocket. Consider a 30th level sun elf wizard: Base Int 16+2 racial+5 inherent bonus+7 for level increases+8 for Epic Headband of Intellect= 38. That's a +14 spellcraft modifier 33 ranks +4 synergy modifier for more than 25 ranks in Knowledge: Arcana +10 for Epic Skill focus Spellcraft +3 for Skill Focus Spellcraft =64. Now consider that this character could easily craft a Wondrous Item to give +30 to spellcraft and buy/find a Rod of the Epic Spellcaster for another +10 =104.
