Archivist + Versatile Spellcaster?

Versatile Spellcaster [General]
You can use two lower-level spell slots to cast a spell one level higher.
Prerequisite: Ability to spontaneously cast spells.
Benefit: You can use two spell slots of the same level to cast a spell you know that is one level higher. For example, a sorcerer with this feat can expend two 2nd-level spell slots to cast any 3rd-level spell he knows.

I was sure there was a feat which would let an archivist qualify for this, but I can't remember what it was.

Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.
Tier 3: An expert marksman, cartographer and chef who can tie strong knots and is trained in hostage negotiation or a marksman so good he can shoot down every bullet fired by a minigun while armed with a rusted single-shot pistol that veers to the left.
Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.
Tier 1: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything and the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.[/spoiler]

Wouldn't Uncanny Forethought work too, assuming you snagged arcane spells (also assuming it requires arcane spells specifically)?

Uncanny Forethought should work nicely for the build I have in mind (which already has Southern Magician and doesn't do much healing or summoning). Thanks.

Requires Spell Mastery, which requires Wizard 1, which was never changed when the Wu-Jen, Chameleon, or Archivist got printed.

addendum: 29-01-10, 11:02, -8 GMT, are cantrip runestaffs FREE?!

addendum 2: 29-01-10, 11:04, -8 GMT, oh dear god, a free runestaff of every cantrip in the game...

Cantrips are always half a spell level in calculations.

Aha! To calculate the price, times the highest-level level spell by itself (.5*.5=.25), then times 200 gp (1/day) for a 50 gp cantrip Runestaff. Sadly, I can't find any Shadow spell cantrips.

addendum: 29-01-10, 11:25, -8 GMT, in any case, the funny thing is that it lowers its own price like that.

addendum 2: 29-01-10, 11:26, -8 GMT, for a level 1 spell 1/day, it's 200 gp. For level 2, 2*2*200=800 gp. level 3*3*200=1800. level 4*4*200=3200. level 5*5*200=5000. 6=7200. 7=9800. 8=12800. 9=16200.
