For example, a sorcerer with this feat can expend two 2nd-level spell slots to cast any 3rd-level spell he knows."A sorcerer can't "know" any 3rd level spells until 6th level.Basically this feat allows you to cast an "extra" higher level spell by expending 2 lower level slots.Heighten spell allows you to increase the CL but not the actual spell level - that is it won't allow you to cast a 3rd level spell early. It will allow you to increase the CL of a 2nd level spell to 3rd level of effect - but the spell is still a 2nd level spell."A heightened spell has a higher spell level than normal (up to a maximum of 9th level). Unlike other metamagic feats, Heighten Spell actually increases the effective level of the spell that it modifies. All effects dependent on spell level (such as saving throw DCs and ability to penetrate a lesser globe of invulnerability) are calculated according to the heightened level. The heightened spell is as difficult to prepare and cast as a spell of its effective level."The problem with this combination is that no matter what you do with these 2 feats is that the character still doesn't know a higher level spell (in this example a 3rd level spell) to use the versatile caster feat on.</blockquote>
