Is there any way in pathfinder, other than custom crafting a magic item for it, to gain a spell as a spell-like ability? Either through feats or maybe even Prestige Class levels? Specifically, the spell Blistering Invective calls to me. I'm wondering if there's any good way to gain a spell like that as a spell-like ability as a member of a non-caster class.

Magic items wouldn't even grant you a spell like ability, though you would have an item with the ability to cast a spell (as a custom item). A SLA is usually something granted by your race and sometimes certain classes will provide a SLA. To my knowledge none of the existing one provide blistering invective.

There are some feats that do this: Minor Spell Expertise and Major Spell Expertise
Rogues can take a talent that lets them use wizard spells as a spell-like ability
Eidolons can take evolutions that grant them spell-like abilities
Several Cleric Domains, Wizard Arcane Schools, and Sorcerer Bloodlines grant spell-like abilities
There are probably many other ways to gain spell-like abilities

The easier way is this trait from from Ultimate Campaign:
Magical Talent: Either from inborn talent, the whimsy of the gods, or obsessive study of strange tomes, you have mastered the use of a cantrip. Choose a 0-level spell. You may cast that spell once per day as a spell-like ability. This spell-like ability is cast at your highest caster level gained; if you have no caster level, it functions at CL 1st. The spell-like ability's save DC is Charisma-based.

Okay, interesting. Is there any way to build on this without taking class levels?

If you have racial spell-like abilities your caster level for those is equal to your character level. IIRC there was a developer post that stated you can use racial SLAs to take arcane strike with gnome rogues and benefit fully from the caster levels their SLAs give.
I somehow forgot about Arcane Strike. Love that feat. Always magical weapons with a trait and a feat. Not bad. Anyone got anything else?
