Does it say so? No? Then it does't.
You could get four levels back with the Boon Companion feat, but that's it.

It isn't clear so I asked. That's what Forums are for. Not that any of that should matter in a section only about answering questions.
None the less thank you for taking the time to answer. It will help with troubleshooting.
It is very clear actually…
He does not, however, gain other benefits a character of that class would have gained.
This line exists in every prestige class that advances spellcasting and it very clearly spells out that you do not advance anything but your spellcasting

That's why I answered your question. However, I believe in the "teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" concept, which is why I like to not simply answer such a question, but try to give out tools so people can maybe find the answers to future questions on their own.
Pathfinder is a fairly straightforward rule system - Abilities do what they say they do, and only what they say they do. Unless something otherwise wouldn't be covered by rules at all, you shouldn't extrapolate.

"He does not, however, gain other benefits a character of that class would have gained."
Because the base classes of pathfinder are so strong, it's very rare for a prestige class to bring an overall increase in power. They are mostly for flavor.
That's a noble philosophy, but all you did was be snarky. I guess that's the height of free education.
Its the height of free speech, actually. Liking it is not required, nor does having a specialized or expensive education ensure you can avoid it, or not partake in it. I don't particularly like snarky responses myself, and just tend to ignore them. They tend to have their own social repercussions though.

What I did was give you a precise, accurate, and concise answer to your question, and simultaneously provide an explanation of how I came to that answer. I did help you with this question, and if you ever have a similar question, you'll probably remember my answer exactly because it was so "snarky".
What I didn't do was say you shouldn't have asked. You read that into my post.
