I wish I owned Complete Mage. Not sure what advice I can offer at this point, as I'm unfamiliar with that class and those feats. Spell Pen and Greater Spell Pen are always good. Extend Spell might not be a bad option either - duration for some of these charm spells is sometimes low for something we might need them to do (or not do!)
I opted to go with Extend spell and then another feat from Complete Mage that lowers my enchantment metamagics one lever, thereby offsetting my Extend penalty.
What Alacritous Cogitation does is if you leave an arcane slot open while preparing spells, you can later use that slot to cast any spell of that level or lower for a full round action. It's like having the versatility of a sorceror for one spell, but with a much greater spell book.
For the last feat, I'm still up in the air about.
Here is my character for now, I still need to find that last feat. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know.

[sblock=Background]
Latham was born into a wealthy merchant family dealing in rare antiquities. He was given all the niceties the realm had to offer. His mother and father were obedient followers of the ONE and routinely hosted regal events for the likewise rich. In his mid-teens, his father received one shipment from over the mountains in the south. It was a difficult shipment to get, as importing good was very dangerous. Once received, however, Latham was surprised to see that the majority of the shipment consisted mostly of old books. Confused why his father would go into great lengths to procure such items, Latham confiscated a large portion of these books and hid them from his father.
Work got around about this shipment, either from a leak or some of the ONE’s methods of discovery. Within the day a small militia came into the house and commandeered the shipment’s contents, as well as arrested his father and mother. The remaining books were rounded up and burned outside the estate. Latham pledged fealty to the ONE and, as a cruel, the militia let him go, but not before lighting the house on fire and heading back with his parents as prisoners.
He smashed through a window to get inside of his home, and battling flames and smoke alike, fought his way to his bedroom where he took his most precious belongings and the books he had nonchalantly placed among his others in a bookshelf. Then he fled the estate with what little he had.
Never been formally trained to do anything at all except speak and read a few obscure languages, Latham found it rough going at first. However, he finally had the opportunity to read through the books, which he was surprised to find out were tomes containing a language he had never seen before and symbols and pictures everywhere. Try as he might, however, he never could quite figure out how to read the material.
As luck would have it, one day he happened upon a translator’s building. He entered and asked for a job from the elderly man running the store. The man asked him a few brief questions in some languages and somewhat satisfied, offered Latham work. After some months of translating letters and books, Latham became confident enough to ask the man to take a look at some of his books. Obliging, the man was astounded to see these in Latham’s possession, for these were old spellbooks, and the man, trusting Latham, confided that he knew how to read these spells because he knew how to cast them.
Knowing Latham was quite intelligent and thirsting for more in his life, the old man offered him the opportunity to learn, and so the two began training Latham to cast these spells along with others. It took a few years, but after a while, the man informed Latham that now that he knew how to cast these spells, he must use them for the good of the people. Stop the oppression of the ONE and let everyone know that magic, not people, dictate the lives of men. And so Latham joined the resistance under the tutelage of his master.[/sblock]
[sblock=Personality]
Latham is very confident and some would say cocky. He knows his abilities are quite potent and revels in the fact. It is not a rare occurrence for him to put his foot in his mouth, as he sometimes becomes too overconfident. He is driven by power and does not like being controlled. It has been said that Latham is out to prove himself bigger than his body conveys.[/sblock]
