I was thinking multiclass wizard/clearic the pale master gives lots of neg spell power and crit and the Divine Disciple gives neg crit and even more spell power. The combination of the two on inflict wounds seems like it could be strong. Between the two trees your getting +16% necro crit. Admittedly all the spells that i would get from one of the two classes would be mostly useless, but the additional wizard feats plus the manna and spell power from pale master seem like it would make up for it wouldn't it?
Thing is once you reach epic levels you will see that there is nothing to benefit negative spell damage, there is exalted for light spell power but negative has apsolutely nothing as booster.
Also if you splash you caster levels become limited and thus you lose full potential of the spell so the increase in crit chance and spell power gets pulled down by low caster spell levels.
Also another thing is that most mobs in game are undead, so you would like.. heal those.
Then there is deathward and there is massive hp pools enemies have later.
While you can increase your negative damage to some extent you cannot increase your caster levels and you dont get a significant synergy with epic destenies.
All are focus on either random spell casts, dc casts, element spell casts or light spell casts.
I mean it might be fun to mess around with, but techincaly speaking and efficiency speaking its really bad.
But dont let that discourage you if you want go ahead with it.
Another thing that il point out is that there is a limited ammount of spells that can be used for that playstyle that hold any efficiency.
Inflicts/harm being from cleric line and neg auras burst and necrotic ray + slas from palemaster being from necro line puts you at a disadvantage compared to other spells those classes can use.
So techically you would be limited to 2 single target nukes both based on fortitude and some aoes that are also based on fortitude save.
And you cannot pick both since once is a lv 6 cleric spell and 2nd is a lv 6 wizz spell.
If you could bypass not runing undead content /which is really hard/ you would end up with spells that dont scale well and no capability to use other spels.
You could use fire as 2ndary focus but even so the spell selection and caster levels would limit that.
Worst overall reason is no synergy with epic levels, no proper reilable spells and to much sp consumed due to lack of cc on a deeper multiclass build.
IF you want a sun elf wizz plife, you are better off doing 18 wiz 2 cleric if you really wanted somethin for neg spell power, but even so i would advise way better things
