Extension III was an alteration and metamagic spell that increased the time another spell lasted.[2][3][7]
Effects
This spell was very similar to the less potent extension I: If cast directly after another spell requiring less magical power, extention III prolonged that spell to either one and a half or two times its original duration, depending on the affected spells power.[2][8][7]
Components
Extension I required verbal components only.[2][7]
History
This spell was created by Netherese arcanist Zwei in −2559 DR (1300 NY) under the name Zwei's 3rd extension as his last and most powerfull invention.[1]
By the 1360s DR it was considered uncommon in the magical community in Faerûn,[9] and also only rarely found in Zakhara.[5][note 1]
It fell out of use[speculation] after the Year of Wild Magic, 1372 DR, when experienced spellcasters developed the talent to modify some aspects of their spells, like extending the duration.[10][note 2]
