However, not all spells are available in stores, and the linked guide, while fairly complete, is still missing a lot of new stuff (or says merchants have things they don't, mainly Soubar scribe vendor is missing some things the guide says it has).

If anyone cares to give me updates I'll fix the OP of the guide.

But the number of spells is definitely less than sorcerer, and also, the spontaneous casting as a sorcerer was also really good. Having said that, I think I still personally preferred the wizard so far.

Thaumaturge is an amazing class I think, love having two summons. It's amazing, and they are really beefed up compared to the regular summons.

- I have one normal feat left to choose at lvl 18. I was going to get 'spell penetration' but there are many items available for this feat I think so seemed a bit redundant. So thinking about combat expertise. Is this a good pick for the wizard +3 AC could be always useful I thought?
( He will have epic conjuration focus, and evocation focus, and all metamagic obviously other feats)

- Epic levels, any spells worth taking?

Thanks, everyone.

I have gone with 'greater Evocation focus' to enable reignite option.
Reignite Evocation? Is this suppose to work automatically or do I somehow enable something? After casting an evocation spell, I get a message that it is active, what do I do after that?
And everything I cast is metamagic like empower. I hope it works with metamagic. Thanks everyone.

Drag the 'Reignite Evocation' feat to your hotbar. You use that when it tells you it's active.

Can someone explain to me about the true name summonings? I have some questions if someone who knows can answer.
So If I find a name in a dusty tome (which I found before but with no name in it), or somewhere else, I call this being and negotiate with it?
Do I need to negotiate and pass diplomacy and lore-planes checks to come to an agreement?
I have 9 Diplomacy and 17 Lore-planes right now. (No Buff) Do I need to increase these significantly?
do these cost gold to cast?
Are these really noticeably more powerful than regular planars? Do the conjuration focus bonuses apply?
Thanks

-you cast Greater Planar Binding, Gate, or Epic Gate to a diamond, canary diamond, or blue diamond
-then you write the true name, name to the gem
-summon it
-discuss the payment(if you fail diplomacy check, the price goes up 150-300%)
-everytime you want to cast it, use the spell to the gem, and not to the ground
