While I'm not all that fond of PC's making spells permanent on themselves, there's all kinds of fun you can have with NPC's, traps and the like that have had permanency placed on them.
Therefore, I present my modified version of the permanency spell. I know XP costs are being done away with, so Jason can modify the "XP cost" to whatever system he wants to replace XP costs.
Also, you may notice that I've expanded the permanency spell to all full caster classes. Also, I've reduced the spell duration of all spells so NO spell has a duration greater than 24 hours, making permanency a *much more* useful spell.

This spell makes certain other spells permanent.
Depending on the spell, you must be of a minimum caster level and must expend a number of XP. You cast this spell in conjunction with the spell you wish to make permanent. When you make a spell permanent, you fix the caster level on the target. The spell’s caster level does not increase even if you later gain levels without recasting permanency at a higher level and repaying the XP cost.
You can make the following spells permanent in regard to yourself.

You cast the desired spell in conjunction with the permanency spell. You cannot cast these spells on other creatures. This application of permanency can be dispelled only by a caster of higher level than you were when you cast the spell.
In addition to personal use, permanency can be used to make the following spells permanent on yourself, another creature, or an object (as appropriate). When cast on an unwilling creature, the target gains a Will save to prevent the effect from becoming permanent (even if the associated spell allows no save). If the permanency fails, the caster loses no XP.
