General Rules: Feats - Burning Focus

Burning Focus [Alvari] (from Dragon 315)
You channel your frustration into magical power.
    Prerequisites: Alvari, Charisma 13+, Greater Spell Penetration, Spell Penetration.
    Benefit: You can choose one creature whose spell resistance you failed to overcome in the last round with your caster level check. The next time you try to overcome that creature’s spell resistance, you gain a +1 morale bonus to the level check to overcome the creature’s spell resistance. This bonus increases by +1 after each such failed check (to a maximum bonus of +10), so after three failed level checks, you would gain a +3 bonus to the next level check to bypass the target’s spell resistance. You can apply the bonus from this feat to only one creature at a time. The bonus stacks with that provided by both Spell Penetration and Greater Spell Penetration. If more than one minute passes before you cast another spell at the creature that requires a level check to overcome spell resistance, you lose the bonus. You also lose this bonus as soon as you successfully bypass the chosen creature’s spell resistance or cast a spell that doesn’t affect the chosen creature (so if you cast a spell that targets another creature or in an area that doesn't affect the chosen creature).
