You don't use the Chameleon level 2 spellcaster line, you use the level 1
spellcaster line, it's just that computations on the spells' range,
duration, damage, etc., are figured as if you were caster level 2.
Let's say you're level 1 and you took Arcane Focus for a day. We'll give you
an Int of 14. According to the spell line for a level 1 Chameleon, you get 4
zero-level spells, 2 first-level spells, and 0 second-level spells.
But you get bonus spells for your Int of 14, so you get +1 first-level spell
and +1 second-level spell.
Your total spells cast for this day is 4 zero-level, 3 first-level, and 1
second-level spells. Your caster level for all these spells is 2. Caster
level in this case doesn't mean spells-per-day or Spells-known. It only
affects the variables involved in the casting of spells. For example, if you
took Bull's Strength as your 2nd level arcane spell, it would last for 2
minutes, because it lasts one round per (caster) level.
That clear it up?
