Feats

F1 (Shaky) - Power Attack
F2 (Vulnerable) - Law Devotion
Human - Open
1 - Combat Casting
3 - Practiced Spellcaster
5 - Extend Spell
7 - Arcane Preparation
9 - Open                     
11 - Arcane Strike

I'm still planning on my feats, maybe I'll add some Tripping or something to increase the DMG, another route would be to go Aasimar+Alternate Spell Source+DMM Combo but my DM might kill me. Also if i somehow find a way to trade my familiar for something else i will be able to dump int and get a higher Cha.

Only the Attribute Enhancers, Am of NatAr, Rng of Def, Cpe of Res, Weapon +1, Armor +1, a candle of invocation and some Nightsticks.

I'm open to suggestions.

I recall something about only prepared casters having access to sanctified spells RAW.

Cock! You are right, i'll have to buy armor then. Damn i didn't think Spellsword would end up being so important.

If you really want sanctified spells and have a feat to spare, take Arcane Preparation. It lets you prepare spells in spontaneous casting slots, letting you apply metamagic to them without increasing their casting time... or, yes, make use of sanctified spells.

Well between that and Metamagic Specialist i would have no use for Rapid Metamagic so i guess i do have a feat to spare.

Improved initative is always a good feat. You have the int score to take advantage of knowledge devotion. Obtain familiar/improved familiar is also good too. Minor shapeshift is a temporary hp battery.

Spell selection is the biggest thing. Try to cover most of your bases (buff, debuff, BC, utility, blast, multitarget, single target) and don't be redundant with your spell selection

Here's a quick list to get you started

1-shield, nervesketter, silent image, grease,
2-wraithstrike, glitterdust, web,
3-haste, ray of exhaustion, magic circle against evil, greater magic weapon
4-wings of flurry, greater mirror image, polymorph if allowed,
5-teleport, dismissal,
6-disintegrate, greater dispel magic,
7-limited wish, reverse gravity,
8-greater shadow evocation,
9-time stop

There's a few blanks there for spells you like.
