Kinda how Pluto is a "dwarf planet" but is not a "planet".  "Dwarf planet" is a whole other category, not a sub-category of planet.  In a similar way, a "minor artifact" might not count as an "artifact."  Mind you, they are under the Artifact heading in the SRD: <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/artifacts.htm" target="_blank">http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/artifacts.htm</a>.  A DoMT might work, then.  Problem is that they are notorious for destroying campaigns in which they are introduced.  A philosopher's stone is probably better.[edit]Re: Ancillary featSome kind of "metamagic flexibility" feat?  That would make sense.  I think I would prefer that it add the benefits of Improved Heighten to Heighten Spell rather than replace the Heighten Spell entirely.  I like the other features too.  How about adding +0 level metamagic feats on the fly?  Elemental Substitutions and such. You need to double quicken a spell (+8 levels) to cast it if you've already used a swift action, right?  Eventually we should figure out what the level adjustment is for immediate action spells.  And for free action (on your turn) and free action (at any time) casting times.A thread on the board brought up the question of emulating psychic reformation with a limited wish (this assumes psionic-magical transparency, of course).  You could change all your feat and skill choices for the past 6 levels with the 300 xp cost of limited wish, and with a standard action.  (Faster if you quicken it).  Or pay a little more xp if you want to change your choices further back.  Matt could turn into Jake or Thomas at a moment's notice if we allowed this.Can (limited) wishes allow one to jump from one career path to another in this way?[edit2]Stacked Extend Spells rock.  A wizard can double-extend his shapechange at bed-time and know that he will be difficult to ambush until the next morning.  I suppose he'll still be vulnerable when preparing spells; that's a class ability, and you can't use those while shapechanged.  Multiply extended mind blanks can give you days of protection with one expenditure of a spell slot.  I thought I found a nice combo with Delay Spell and time stop, but the random length of time stop messes it up.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
