Any metamagic feat. |

Energy Substitution. |
|
Energy Substitution |
Any other metamagic feat, Knowledge (arcana) 5 ranks. |
You choose one type of energy: acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic. When employing a spell with the acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic designator, you can modify the spell to use your chosen type of energy instead. The altered spell uses a spell slot of the spell's normal level.
The altered spell works normally in all respects except the type of damage dealt.
|
Eschew Materials |
|
You can cast any spell that has a material component costing 1 gp or less without needing that component. (The casting of the spell still provokes attacks of opportunity as normal.) If the spell requires a material component that costs more than 1 gp, you must have the material component at hand to cast the spell, just as normal.
|
Extra Slot |
Caster level 4th. |
|
Extra Spell |
Caster level 3rd. |
|
Improved Familiar |
Ability to acquire a new familiar, compatible alignment, sufficiently high level (see below). |
When choosing a familiar, the creatures listed below are also available to the spellcaster. The spellcaster may choose a familiar with an alignment up to one step away on each of the alignment axes (lawful through chaotic, good through evil).
Improved familiars otherwise use the rules for regular familiars, with two exceptions: If the creature's type is something other than animal, its type does not change; and improved familiars do not gain the ability to speak with other creatures of their kind (although many of them already have the ability to communicate).
The list in the table above presents only a few possible improved familiars. Almost any creature of the same general size and power as those on the list makes a suitable familiar. Nor is the master's alignment the only possible categorization. For instance, improved familiars could be assigned by the master's creature type or subtype, as shown below.
|
Innate Spell |
Quicken Spell, Silent Spell, Still Spell. |
|
Nonlethal Substitution |
Any other metamagic feat, Knowledge (arcana) 5 ranks. |
|
Persistent Spell |
Extend Spell. |
A persistent spell has a duration of 24 hours. The persistent spell must have a personal range or a fixed range. Spells of instantaneous duration cannot be affected by this feat, nor can spells whose effects are discharged. You need not concentrate on spells such as detect magic or detect thoughts to be aware of the mere presence of absence of the things detected, but you must still concentrate to gain additional information as normal. Concentration on such a spell is a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. A persistent spell uses up a spell slot six levels higher than the spell's actual level.
|
Repeat Spell |
Any other metamagic feat. |
A repeated spell is automatically cast again at the beginning of your next round of actions. No matter where you are, the secondary spell originates from the same location and affects the same area as the primary spell. If the repeated spell designates a target, the secondary spell retargets the same target if the target is within 30 feet of its original position; otherwise the secondary spell fails to go off. A repeated spell uses up a spell slot three levels higher than the spell's actual level. Repeat Spell cannot be used on spells with a range of touch.
|
Sanctum Spell |
Any metamagic feat. |
|
Sculpt Spell |
Any metamagic feat. |
|

Split Ray |
Any metamagic feat. |

Twin Spell |
Any metamagic feat. |
|
Widen Spell |
|
You can alter a burst, emanation, line, or spread shaped spell to increase its area. Any numeric measurements of the spell's area increase by 100%. A widened spell uses up a spell slot three levels higher than the spell's actual level.
Spells that do not have an area of one of these four sorts are not affected by this feat.
