[QUOTE="Errant, post: 3010311, member: 1926"] I've been considering making an artificer PC and looking at some threads about how to make the most of the class. The Persistent Spell is touted again & again as a *must have* feat IF my DM will allow it, but I'm not seeing why. If I understand the feat right (from Complete Arcane), it allows me to change the duration of a personal or fixed range spell to 24 hours at the cost of preparing it as 6 levels higher. A Persistent 1st level spell would therefore count as a 7th level spell. Artificers don't *get* 7th level spells/infusions, so Persisten Spell can't be for preparing spells, which leaves making magic items. With metamagic feats, I can store a metamagic version of a spell in a scroll, potion, or wand, but level limits for potions and wands apply to the spell’s higher spell level (after the application of the metamagic feat), so I can't make Persistent spell potions or wands, just scrolls. Is that it? Persistent Spell is so popular just because it lets artificers create personal spell scrolls with 24hr durations? Or am I missing something else? [/QUOTE]
