In 3.5 there is no way for spellcasters to assist one another casting spells in a similar manner to "aid another" in combat and using skills.
Has anyone tried using the mechanism in "Relics and Rituals" to combine effort (not the True Rituals discussed elsewhere) at extra time and cost.
Could a Spellcraft DC20 + spell level check be used to combine effort rather than invent a new skill (as in R&R)?
This would seem a useful mechanism to reflect the classic group of spellcasters gathered to perform some magic mightier than any one of them.

In the Forgotten Realms they have come up with Circle Magic and/or Cooperative Spellcasting (don't remember how it was called).
Basically a circle of mages all casting at the same time, with a primary (i.e. the one with the highest level) caster assisted by lower level mages (each additional magelings added +1 to the DC of the saving throw against the spell cast by the circle of mages, but ALL members of the circle must cast the spell).
Ex: head cheese mage casts fireball at DC 18, and 6 magelings assist him, each casting fireball as well (i.e. readying an action to cast fireball when the "boss" does it), for a total of DC 24 (i.e. 18+6)
Not sure anymore if it was exactly like that but it was along those lines...
