'''+1''': Increase the caster level of this spell by +1. In addition, the spell is treated as if its actual spell level is one level higher. This applies to all effects related to spell level (such as ''globe of invulnerability'' and save DC), though it may never be used to qualify for casting prerequisites. You may apply this effect multiple times to the same spell, increasing its effective spell level by +1 each time. For example, a 2nd level spell that would normally have a caster level of 5th and a save DC of 16 heightened two levels instead has a caster level 7th and be treated as a 4th level spell, increasing its save DC to 18. | '''+1''': Increase the caster level of this spell by +1.
