Some possible techniques, available with varying numbers of ranks in the Spellcraft skill which we would have to determine:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Allow the caster to apply Heighten with spells to 9th level, even without the prerequisite feat. Heighten Spell would still be required to increase the spell's level beyond this.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Allow the caster to Empower a small number of carefully selected spells whose descriptions include non-variable terms.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Allow a caster to use a wish or limited wish to duplicate metamagicked spells of lower level - he still pays the XP cost. The metamagic is applied to the level of the duplicating spell.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Allow a caster to Quicken spells with a 1 full round casting time - say with a +2 metamagic level surcharge.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Allow a caster to apply the Widen Spell feat to an area not normally subject to this metamagic - e.g. a cone, or a number of 10-ft. cubes.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Allow a caster to apply the Widen Spell feat to effects which specify areas - such as mirage arcana.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Allow a caster to stack existing metamagic feats and cast multiple Quickened spells, as current version</li> </ul></blockquote>
