How else can I increase my Caster Level?


Advice


I want to make a 12th level caster who can cast Contagious Flame at CL 19...

So far I figure a Pyromaniac Gnome (+1 to fire spells) with Gifted Adept trait (+1 to one spell) Varisian Tattoo (+1 to evocations) Spell Specialization (+2 to one spell) and an Orange Prism Ioun Stone (+1)

but that only puts me to 18.... Anyone know of a way for me to bump it one further? Preferably Core/APG/UM/UC/ISWG/Inner Sea Magic only.
I did see the Bloatmage Initiate feat from some other book but I don't like the encumbrance thing.

Did I miss anything?

bloatmage initiate.


UMD a prayer bead of karma for +4 once a day for 10 minutes.


Thanks Umbral Reaver, that is the type of thing I am looking for..
Although I think the only way I could afford that is if the strand was missing the other beads.

Is there anything else like that that can temporarily boost CL?

Accursed bloodline Sorcerer (Ultimate Magic page 66) with a lot of like-powered friends = potential infinite boost to caster level (and has contagious flame on the spell list, unlike a Witch).


Tenebrous spell and umbral spell together have an metamagic adjustment of +2 and will increase your caster level by 1 (as well as the DC) -- and it will put your enemies into a darkness spell.

They won't have a high enough spell slot for that at 12th level, unfortunately. Contagious flame's already a sixth-level spell.

Hmmm... a level 12 Gnome Sorcerer could have a base Charisma (before magic) of 23, which gives a base Leadership score of 18. Make all 40 of your followers and your cohort Accursed Bloodline Sorcerers, just like you, and gain a +41 boost to your caster level when they all use aid another to fuel your awesomeness! :)

The Orange Prism ion stone would make him a 13th lvl caster.If he's a wizard --7th lvl slot available.

Increasing his caster level doesn't increase his wizard level for purposes of spell slots. It just makes the spells that he does cast harder to resist and possibly more powerful.

A 12th level caster with no boosts casts his spells at CL 12.
A 12th level caster with the stone casts the exact same set of spells at CL 13.
