You can just continue with Incantrix for the first 10 levels of Epic.
If you are an ethical person, you do the right thing even when no one is watching...

There's some other ridiculousness later in the thread involving polymorph abuse, Chronotyryns, and metamagic rod abuse via multiple hand possession + force missile mage. Several tens of thousands of damage within two turns, or something ridiculous like that it became later.

Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.

Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...

yeah, i know that thread and what you can do there with magic missiles, that char was even build that way first but i found out fast that it wasnt much fun for me...in combat it was always magic missile magic missile magic missile magic missile etc
thats why i went with a more general force mage. and thats also why i think the force missile mage doesnt fit really
also our dm rules that faq>errata in regards to arcane thesis and thus it only gives -1 max and not -1 per metamagic feat^^ another reason i later switched

Either way, you can still use the same basic principle and use the Orb of Force spell. It's not nearly as ridiculous, and doesn't involve as much metamagic, since Orb of Force is a 4th level spell. Just sub it in.

but where would be the difference to mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, etc?
it would just be orb, orb, orb, orb, orb, orb, orb, etc^^

though im just thinking....could you do that with wings of flurry too?
technically it should work and it would wield higher damage then orb of force (cap of 10d6 vs no cap) and is aoe and with a casterlevel of 20+ its always more damage then the orb, even if the enemy makes it save
though theres a problem with it, as it hits friendly persons too which currently is worked around with purify spell (we got a all good group) and/or sculpt spell and with those no other metamagic feat could be applied so it still fits into arcane fusion

hmmm, is there a way to become immune to force damage? a buff for the whole party would be the best :)

It can be done with any spell, actually. Doesn't have to be orb of force or the like. Remember, with the way your DM reads Arcane thesis, it'd be dropping a lot of the spell combo's power and ridiculousness out. Instead of it being mm*32, it would be orb orb orb orb otherspell otherspell otherspell otherspell, with "otherspell" being any first level spell of your choice, or something similar.

Also, Wings of Flurry states targets effected, not all people within the radius of the effect. There's room to argue it only damages the people you want it to within the area. Otherwise, yes, you would need to do something like Sanctify, or Sculpt.
