The term metamagic covered a set of techniques, a group of spells, and even magic items that could be used by spellcasters, including wizards, sorcerers, clerics and others, to alter the workings of other spells and magic items.[1][2][3] It was considered a sub-school of the school of incantation.[3]

History[]

An early pioneer in the field of metamagic was Sammaster, when he was but a prodigious young mage, in the early 800s DR.[4]

Metamagic Techniques[]

  • Empower Spell: This increased the intensity of harmful spells.[5]
  • Extend Spell: This allowed one to cast a spell with double its usual duration.[6]
  • Maximize Spell: This unleashed the full potential of harmful spells.[7]
  • Quicken Spell: This allowed spells to be cast quicker.[8]
  • Silent Spell: This allowed spellcasting without the necessary verbal components.[9]
  • Still Spell: This allowed the caster to cast a spell without the requisite somatic components.[10]
