Hello, I am playing a Lvl 4 Wizard in the Hells vengeance campaign right now and it's been incredibly fun so far but the last few sessions I had a discussion with my group how caster level works, I showed them the ruling "A spell’s power often depends on its caster level, which for most spellcasting characters is equal to her class level in the class she’s using to cast the spell." Which in my logic states that if I am a level 4 Wizard I would have caster level 4. My DM statet though that the caster level is equal to my highest spell level that I can cast which means 2 at the moment. It's not to bad now that my scaling is so low but it will be in the future.. so I created this thread for some advice to tackle this problem.

Here is what I already tried.

1. Showing them the RAW rules as stated above.
https://www.d20pfsrd.com/Magic/#TOC-Caster-Level they stated I was a tiefling level 4 and wizard caster level 2.

2. I showed a spell like scorching ray which states "You may fire one ray, plus one additional ray for every four levels beyond 3rd (to a maximum of three rays at 11th level)." And there are only spells till 9th Level so max caster level would be 9 In their logic. But they stated that the scaling still continues after lvl20.

Things I will try.

1. Showing them the Ranger or other non full caster class in which it states "Through 3rd level, a ranger has no caster level. At 4th level and higher, his caster level is equal to his ranger level – 3."

2. Showing them the rules of scroll scribe rules and the scroll table there. https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/scrolls

3. Showing them the magical knack trait which would be pretty good with the DMs ruling
