Occultist - To be or not to be ... a necroccultist

[Alakallanar]

I'm contemplating on building a necroccultist. Literally the only reason I'm considering a necroccultist instead of a normal occultist (or, more likely, a tome eater) is to get the command undead spell from the wizard spell list. Regarding everything else I consider the necroccultist a rather bad deal.

Therefore my question: are there other reasonable ways to get the spell?

Reliquarian with the inevitable domain would be an option, but (unless there is an errata I missed that makes his spell casting also use wisdom like his mental focus) isn't really a better deal.

Wands are meh due to the low caster level.

Anything else?

Wands do not have to use min stats and level, that is just the default. Unless your GM rues otherwise, you can always spend more gold for a higher caster level.

I do have to wonder, if you want Command Undead so badly, then why make an Occultist? Maybe there is a way to get what you want from the Occultist with a class that grants Command Undead? Also, is there a way that taking a dip in either Occultist or some other class could work?

[Alakallanar]

Occultist because he would fit thematically (although that might admittedly be even more true for the necroccultist) and because I like him mechanically and haven't had a chance to try one until now.

Command undead because it is one of the most efficient things you can do against undead from relatively early levels onwards (in my experience) and it seems undead will be a common occurence throughout all levels. And the other strong anti-undead stuff like channeling isn't exactly easier to get.

Dipping would afaik require at least 3 levels of wizard, which would hurt the occultist spell casting as well as melee capability. And dipping for other anti-undead measures doesn't seem to work better as far as I can see.

You could also get Command Undead by playing a Reliquarian Occultist and choosing the Inevitable Subdomain of the Law Domain. You would get Command Undead added to your spell list and your spells known as a 3rd level spell.

Looking through Inner Sea Gods I found that Abadar, Irori, Alseta, Dranngvit, Kols, and Magrim have the Inevitable Subdomain.

Reliquarian is a bit MAD, but could be fun if you like divine casters.
