In some ways it is analagous to AMC, but only with regard to one seed. It grants a total of +8 in benefits: I figured that this was about right, given its range.Edit: benefits are +8 linear or +2 exponential.Epic Spell Flexibility [Epic][Epic Magic] You can manipulate epic spells which you know on the fly by means of impromptu modifications.Prerequisites: Spell Revelation (relevant seed), Spellcraft 27 ranks, Knowledge (arcana, religion or nature) 27 ranks, ability to spontaneously cast 9th level arcane or divine spells.Benefit: Choose one seed with regard to which you possess the Spell Revelation feat. When you cast a spell developed with this seed you may manipulate it with an impromptu modification. An impromptu modification is applied at the moment a spell is cast. See 'Impromptu Modifications' below for details.Special: You may take this feat multiple times; each time you take it, it applies to a different seed.Impromptu Modifications<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Focussed. The spell's Save DC is increased by +4 points.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Penetrating. The spell gains a +8 bonus on caster level checks made to overcome SR.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Buttressed. The spell gains a +8 bonus on opposed spellcaster checks made to dispel it.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Remote. The spell's range increases by one increment (if its range entry is 75 ft. or more). A spell with a range of entry of 1200 ft. increases to one mile.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Colossal. The spell's area (if it is an area spell) is quadrupled.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Enduring. The duration of the spell (if non-instantaneous) increases by 1 increment.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Swift. You may cast the spell as a swift action if it normally requires a standard action.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Trifurcated. A ray or a spell which specifies a single target creature may affect up to 2 additional targets.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Enhanced. Damage dealt by the spell increases by 50%.</li> </ul>Rather than develop a suite, and without having to calculate a slew of factors during casting, this allows a variety of extemporaneous tweaks to be made to a spell. Note: I'm also wondering if the "Affect up to 20 additional targets within range" factor should be +12 in spell development (not seed tweaking). This would be equivalent to Chain Spell (+6SP) plus offset Save DC penalty otherwise associated with Chain Spell feat (+8), but bearing in mind that the primary target doesn't normally suffer from said penalty (-2, minor). This corresponds to your +6SP internal seed factor.The original "add additional target at +4SP" factor was derived from Split Ray; it's mostly superseded by the chained effect, but still might be useful in certain circumstances: I used it in the "Trifurcated" option above.</blockquote>
