I've just finished working on a 10th-level sorcerer spy that I was hoping to get some help tweaking. Specifically, to make him the best damn spy sorcerer he can be (but also maintain being able to carry his weight as an adventurer).
What might I have overlooked? What is out there that could make him even better?

Get the Sleeves of Many Garments, only 200gp. They change what your clothes look like which must surely help when using disguises. There is nothing to say they don't stack either.
The Mask of Stony Demeanor is weird, isn't it?
It's cheap at 500gp which is something, and of course it doesn't stack, but it strikes me as such an odd thing for a character to do, in the middle of a conversation to suddenly pull this mask on and then start talking like a robot and making up massive lies. Wouldn't a normal person ironically get a circumstance bonus because of the mask-wearer acting so strangely? Yes, you could wear it all day, but that trashes the disguise and diplomacy.
You have picked really good things though, well done. Is there a way to squeeze Glibness in there?
If I was willing to give up the sleeves of many garments (which he already possesses) I could get the bracers of the glib entertainer which gives him glibness once per day.
I've opted out for now though, since his Bluff (even without the mask) is already so high as to make it overkill and a waste of resources to invest in. I'm considering not increasing my current skills further in later levels and instead investing in other areas, such as Use Magic Device or Intimidate. It may become prudent for me to craft the bracers at a later time, when I may need higher Bluff modifiers.
