Song of Creation
They retrieved the scroll, but none of them could decipher it. Only the older brother of the two noblemen however, had a clue of who could decipher the thing.
-I will bring it to the Archmage, she will know what to do with this, he explained to the group. They all looked at him with awe
-You…know the Archmage? Asked the young shaman amongst them.
-What is she like? Asked the female warlord excited.
-To be an archmage, one has to be a string wizard like you no? Stated the barbarian champion with a tone of pride for his party.
-Oh yes, she is, nodded the young nobleman before teleporting to the guild’s tower with the scroll. He shook his head. Poor of them, if only they knew. He knocked on the Archmage’s door.
-Its open dearie! Made a female voice from inside.
He entered the room and saw the archmage, sitting on the floor with scrolls of music songs around as she tuned her lute.
The man discreetly facepalmed at the sight. His ego would never live that the greatest mage in the realm was a traveling bard…

Goal
Yep, you are an Archmage of great power, capable of casting 9th level spells and using the Archmage prestige class.
As a flippin’ bard.
So not only are you fairly decent in melee and ranged, but you are also one of the best spellcasters in the entire game.
I just love the thought of being a bard archmage to confuse the everliving crud of your party. As a primary arcane spellcaster, there are very few things you can’t do. As a bard you can heal and as a sublime chord you can cast all those juicy 7-9th level spells from the sorcerer/wizard spell lists, and with your Higher Arcanas+Spellfire Wielder, you are up there as one of the strongest spellcasters in 3.5, which completely destroys the idea that bards are merely tier 3…
