As a Warlock, your CL is your Warlock level. We'll assume it is 20 for this case. CL 20 Tongues lasts for 200 minutes. The Wizard does not have a class feature called Spellcasting, for one. Secondly, a Wizard's CL is all of his arcane casting levels combined, NOT a class feature. You could not make a UMD check to emulate a higher CL.</blockquote>
