Yeah, why not just leave out the important parts of the descriptions... like:
Practiced Spellcaster said:However, even if you can't benefit from the full bonus immediately, if you later gain Hit Dice in levels of nonspellcasting classes, you might be able to apply the rest of the bonus.
So, once you select the feat, you immediately apply the bonus, or the portion, which pushes your caster level up to your Hit Dice. After that, you can apply the rest of the bonus if you gain a level in a nonspellcasting class.
It's not hanging around and waiting to get put to use (like when casting a spell with Wild Magic, when your caster level suddenly gets lowered by 3 (and then raised again by +1d6), or when suffering from an Energy Drain attack.
Sidenote: Hmm... actually... doesn't that also prevent Paladins (and such) from using Practiced Spellcaster on themselves and derive Mystic Theurges from any benefit at all from that feat?
EDIT: Hmm... at least the example seems to imply, that with "levels in nonspellcasting classes" they just refer to levels not in the spellcasting class you selected Practiced Spellcaster to apply to. This would still leave the Paladin case, however.
Bye
