i've done a bit of searching through the archives and i cant find a specific answer to this question, so i'm wondering if anyone's made some discoveries or seen this discussed elsewhere.

there was mention in another thread that you cant cast a level 7 spell at power level 7 on green until you are a level 24 spellcaster. the context was this: if you are going to dual class out of bishop or some other spellcaster to a hybrid or fighting class, you should wait til level 24. (of course, we've since learned some things about spell caster level being very important to spell effectiveness).

now i always thought that the number of green bubbles you got on a spell was a function of your college skill (fire, water, etc.) and the spell level (eg quicksand is a level 6 spell), and never considered that your spellcaster level got into it.

so my question is this. what determines the number of green bubbles you get? is it college skill, but limited by spell caster level?

any insights, or guesses, greatly appreciated.
