so as I understand it, GS is available at circle 20. What I don't understand, is why it takes 250 in skill to
use a feature available at such a low level.
is PM and utility factored into this total number or is it just straight 250 utility?

You're asking the wrong question. It requires 250 ranks because of the complexity of the spell. The question you should be asking is why the circle req is so low for something that takes so many ranks. The answer is that some people have magic skills vastly exceeding their circle, and so the spell is available to them earlier.

Yes, PM helps.

To clarify, PM helps but it's not a total 1:1 conversion. 125 PM + 125 Utility != 250 Effective Utility.

But that said, you should be able to see some success with the spell around 200 Utility if not sooner.

Thank you for the prompt response, both of you. I'll just have to step up my utility training.

If this is an important goal for your character, you might consider devoting a spell slot to the Utility Mastery feat, until your ranks catch up.
