Am I missing something?

So if I had say... Spellthief1/Wiz5/WarWeaver5/KotW1, wouldn't my CL be infinite?

Like...
Stf1    CL1
Wiz1  CL1/1
wiz2  CL1/2
Wiz3  CL1/3
wiz4  CL1/4
Wiz5  CL6/6(taking Master Spellthief at lvl 6)
WW1  CL6/6(no progression at WW1)
ww2  CL 7/7
ww3  CL8/8
ww4  CL9/9
ww5  CL10/10
KotW CL10/10/21(Stf bumps now to 31.  KotW now goes to 42-Stf to 52-KotW to 63 so on and so forth?)

Yes. I wrote a handbook in the past that I now don't agree with, but in this case the wording is reasonably clear. Master Spellthief is determined by arcane spellcaster levels, not by arcane caster level. It runs on class level. Let's assume a friendly DM, though, so your prestige class levels count whether they grant bonus CL or not (because the class is a arcane spellcaster). All your class levels, then, are eligible for Master Spellthief. You stack all your class levels to determine your CL in all classes, so you're at CL 12/12, which makes your Knight CL 12+12+1=25. The "loop" terminates here, because this is a stable result - we've just done Knight's calculation, and Master Spellthief doesn't care what your Knight CL is (just your Knight class level).

Thanks.  I was up for way to long, forcing myself onto graveyard shift, so I knew I was missing something.  Thanks again.
