I was wondering if Cyphermage is any good in practice. Wizards easily qualify and it gives full spell per day progression. They can even make/ buy scrolls at a lower level and use them at their level so is there any big downside to this prestige class. I plan on using it for gestalt though it really only has anything to do with the wizard part of the character. Not to mention that being able to make 2 lower level scrolls per day and adding a couple of not entirely worthless things to the summoning lists of some spells.
Well the only arcane discovery that sticks out as great is fast study which is available at level 5. Does anyone know that if with the reduced casting time on symbols if the spells become useful say after you flee and have a few minutes to regroup and setup?
