Metamagic

EMPOWER SPELL [METAMAGIC]

You can cast spells to greater effect.

Benefit: All variable, numeric effects of an empowered spell are increased by one-half. An empowered spell deals half again as much damage as normal, cures half again as many hit points, affects half again as many targets, and so forth, as appropriate. For example, an empowered magic missile deals 1 1/2 times normal damage (roll 1d4+1 and multiply the result by 1.5 for each missile). Saving throws and opposed rolls (such as the one you make when you cast dispel magic) are not affected. Spells without random variables are not affected.

An empowered spell uses up a spell slot two levels higher than the spell’s actual level.

ENLARGE SPELL [METAMAGIC]

You can cast spells farther than normal.

Benefit: An enlarged spell has its range doubled. Spells whose ranges are not defined by distance do not have their ranges increased. A spell whose area or effect is determined by its range (such as bless or a cone spell) has the dimensions of its area or effect increased proportionally.

An enlarged spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level.

ESCHEW MATERIALS [METAMAGIC]

You can cast spells without relying on material components.

Benefit: An eschewed spell can be cast with no material components. Spells without material components or whose material components have a Purchase DC of 4 or greater are not affected by this feat.

An eschewed spell uses up a spell slot of the spell’s normal level, modified by any other metamagic feats.

EXTEND SPELL [METAMAGIC]

You can cast spells that last longer than normal.

Benefit: An extended spell lasts twice as long as normal. Spells with a concentration, instantaneous, or permanent duration are not affected by this feat.

An extended spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level.

HEIGHTEN SPELL [METAMAGIC]

You can cast a spell as if it were a higher level than it actually is.

Benefit: A heightened spell has a higher spell level than normal. Unlike other metamagic feats, Heighten Spell actually increases the effective level of the spell that it modifies. All effects dependent on spell level (such as saving throw DCs) are calculated according to the heightened level. The heightened spell is as difficult to prepare and cast as a spell of its effective level.

NONLETHAL SPELL [METAMAGIC]

You can modify a spell to deal nonlethal instead of lethal damage.

Benefit: You may modify a spell that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage instead. All other effects of the spell remain normal (for example, a nonlethal fireball may still set flammable objects ablaze).

A nonlethal spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level.

REACH SPELL [METAMAGIC]

You can cast touch spells without touching the spell recipient.

Benefit: You may cast a spell that normally has a range of “touch” at any distance up to 30 feet. You must succeed at a ranged touch attack to cast the spell upon the recipient. A reach spell uses up a spell slot two levels higher than the spell’s actual level.

SACRED SPELL [METAMAGIC]

You can cast spells imbued with divine energy.

Benefit: Half of the damage dealt by a sacred spell is converted into divine energy, and as such is not prevented by abilities or spells that reduce or prevent damage from a particular type of energy. For example, half the damage from a sacred flaming wrath spell would not be negated by fire resistance or fire immunity. Only divine spells that deal damage may be made into sacred spells.

A sacred spell uses up a spell slot two levels higher than the spell’s actual level.

SHADOWBANE SPELL [METAMAGIC]

Your spells are more effective against creatures of Shadow.

Benefit: Creatures of Shadow and characters with shadowblood (humans of shadow heritage, or elves and dwarves, for example) take a –4 penalty on the spell’s saving throw.

This feat cannot improve spells that do not allow saves.

A shadowbane spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level.

SILENT SPELL [METAMAGIC]

You can cast spells silently.

Benefit: A silent spell can be cast with no verbal components. Spells without verbal components are not affected. A silent spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level.

STILL SPELL [METAMAGIC]

You can cast spells without gestures.

Benefit: A still spell can be cast with no somatic components. Spells without somatic components are not affected. A still spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level.
