Hmm? What "evil intervention"? As far as I know, there are 3 tomes of wisdom in BG1 - that gives us 21. The good way in the Wrath test grants an extra point (= 22), TMoltM is another one (= 23), Hrothgar and the Ioun Stone together will make that a lovely 25. And that's without the DoMT!
Ah! When I specified 24 earlier, I was refering to natural wisdom. Then I realised that it was possible to ledgitamely get a natural wisdom on 25 by the end of ToB. As for using the Silver Ioun Stone, there are far better helms for cleric/mage to use (helm of Balduran, Circlet of Netheril spring to mind).

I got the 25 WIS as follows (very similar to your method):

18 starting WIS for BG1
+3 from tomes (21)
+1 from giving in to the taint when battling Wraith Sarevok (22 - hence the evil intervention)
+1 from the Bhaal Tear from this test (23)
+1 from the DoMT (Deck of Many Things Xen, 24)
+1 from the MoLTM (25).

A 25 WIS should net me some pretty impressive bonus spell slots (including 7th level ones Makes up for the slower level progression due to the multi class).
