Can sacrifice a spell or spell slot from one of your classes to apply the effect of a metamagic feat that you know to a spell cast using another arcane class (For instance, you could sacrifice a sorceror slot to apply a metamagic effect to a wizard spell). This sacrificed spell or slot is lost (just as if you had cast it) in addition to the spell you are actually casting. The level of the spell augmented can't be higher than 1/2 class level. Level fo spell sacrificed must equal or exceed the spell level adjustment of the metamagic feat. To empower a spell, you'd have to expend a 2nd-level or higher spell.

RESERVE FEATS
Ah, this new category of feats is interesting. They explain the reason for it's creation. The purpose of a Reserve feat is, even though you have to keep a spell prepared or a spell slot on hold in order to benefit, the benefits are worthwhile. The higher the spell level you hold, the stronger the benefit. The good thing about Reserve feats is they're usable at will with no limit.
They stated that these are good for those spellcasters that like to save their spells for just the right moment or are too worried about running out of spells. It gives them something worthwhile to do other than aid another or use up charges from wands and scrolls.
For example, I'll show you guys one of the reserve feats that looks cools, Storm Bolt.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
STORM BOLT: Ability to cast 3rd-level spells; As long as you have an electricity spell of 3rd level or higher available to cast, you can fire a 20-foot line of electricity as a standard action. This bolt deals 1d6 points of electricity damage per level of the highest-level electricity spell you have available to cast. As a secondary benefit, you gain a +1 competence bonus to your caster level when casting electricity spells.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Most of the reserve feats, in fact I believe all of them, run along these lines. I like them, they appear to be very useful and worthwhile to invest in. There's quite a number of reserve feats in the book, 25 in total.
As for the other reserve feats, of course there's nondamaging ones. There's Aquatic Breath which lets you breathe water and air normally, Borne Aloft let's you fly 30 feet once per round, Clutch of Earth lets you impede a target's movement, and Shadow Veil let's you obscure a target's sight

FEY HERITAGE FEATS
Fey Heritage: +3 bonus on Will saves against enchantments
Fey Legacy: Gain spell-like abilities usable 1/day (confusion, dimension door, summon nature's ally V, character level=caster level)
Fey Power: +1 caster level and save DC on enchantment spells and warlock invocations
Fey Presence: Gain spell-like abilities usable 1/day (charm monster, deep slumber, disguise self, caster level=character level)
Fey Skin: Gain DR/cold iron
Quote:
Other Feats
SOMATIC WEAPONRY: Pretty much what I expected and what I am sure everyone will be happy about. Requirements are cheap, and you can basically use your weapon, or any item in fact, for the somatic component of a spell.
MINOR SHAPESHIFT: This reserve feat says you need to have a polymorph spell of 4th level or higher on hold. But at will, you can gain one of several benefits such as +2 to melee damage or a claw attack dealing 1d6 damage and a couple of others. It also gives you +1 caster level when casting spells o the polymorph subschool.
ENERGY ABJURATION: You gain energy resistance every time you cast an abjuration spell equal to 1 + spell's level x 5 against any type of energy. Once you're hit by an energy, it wears off. It can be taken as a wizard bonus feat.
METAMAGIC SPELL TRIGGER: You can apply any metamagic feat you know to a spell you cast from a spell trigger item like a staff or wand. You expend one extra charge for each spell level increase the metamagic feat imposes. However, you can't apply the feats if it will take the spell beyond 9th-level.
