how would you build the wizard of nog/nogian wizards from al'quadium/the araibian setting in 2nd ed dnd(see complete shi'airs hand book)?
Try http://arabianadventures.org/ perhaps your answer is already there (can´t check it right now...)
But I think translating the Mystic of Nog into 3.5 would be pretty straightforward: Make him a wizard, keep the "spell level for attribute" exchange rate as given in the CSH, and make the special abilities available as feats as well as substituting spell levels for these. Oh, and remove the limit for the attributes.
Alternatively, you could think about using the costs for the point-buy method of character generation, each spell level representing one point to buy higher scores with.
