Metamagic level adjustment is +1. There is an alignment restriction, but no arcane prohibition. They're noncore, but its hard to shake them.This is a problem - it makes divine damage cheap. Admittedly, there is no provision for changing *all* damage to divine damage: assuming a target creature is immune to the elemental component, this could be achieved by doubly empowering it and then corrupting/consecrating it for a total of +5 metamagic levels.Furthermore, how would Metamagic Freedom interact with Consecrate Spell? If you applied Consecrate Spell twice to a spell, would the 'other half' of the damage become divine as well? Half of the remaining non-divine damage?We have:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sonic - effectively typeless against many targets. Affects objects regardless of hardness. Blocked by silence.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Slashing/piercing/bludgeoning - effectively typeless against the vast majority of targets.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Force - effectively typeless against the vast majority of targets. Affects incorporeal targets. No effect on objects.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Divine - effectively typeless, barring circumstances which we contrive.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Typeless - really typeless.</li> </ul>I'm wondering it we're rating typeless damage too high. If we rate true typeless at +8SP, sonic at +4 and the others at +6 we might be closer to the mark. Should acid be +2?+10 for typeless damage is based in part upon the metamagic analysis of horrid wilting, but horrid wilting is not indiscriminate - the caster chooses which targets are subject to it within the prescribed area.</blockquote>
