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]
