Qualifying for Archmage as a Divine caster.

[Nytemare3701]

I have a Divine Shadowcraft Mage with 10 or so open levels. I saw the divine defiance shenanigans posted in the Fun Finds thread, and thought "that sounds like a pretty nifty trick, I'd love to tack that onto my mage"...then I read the requirements for Archmage. Assuming I have the feats and skills covered, how do I go about getting "Ability to cast 7th-level arcane spells"?

Of questionable legality, however ...

Alternate Source Spell (you'd need a race that let you cast low-level arcane spells to meet the feats requirement) - from dragon
