First Post
The question basically boils down to this part here:
And this:
Is this already a calculation?
Or would the reduction only affect values, where the caster level is used in turn, like...
So, is the caster level itself reduced and then used here to calculate a result, or is the caster level not reduced but the result here instead?

–1 effective level (whenever the creature’s level is used in a die roll or calculation, reduce it by one for each negative level).
And this:
A spell’s power often depends on its caster level, which for most spellcasting characters is equal to your class level in the class you’re using to cast the spell.
Is this already a calculation?
Or would the reduction only affect values, where the caster level is used in turn, like...
Telekinesis
...
Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)
Duration: Concentration (up to 1 round/level) or instantaneous; see text
...
Resolve these attempts as normal, except that they don’t provoke attacks of opportunity, you use your caster level in place of your base attack bonus (for disarm and grapple), you use your Intelligence modifier (if a wizard) or Charisma modifier (if a sorcerer) in place of your Strength or Dexterity modifier, and a failed attempt doesn’t allow a reactive attempt by the target (such as for disarm or trip). No save is allowed against these attempts, but spell resistance applies normally. This version of the spell can last 1 round per caster level, but it ends if you cease concentration.
So, is the caster level itself reduced and then used here to calculate a result, or is the caster level not reduced but the result here instead?
