[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 288422, member: 4134"] I wouldn't say so. Epic spells are a little different from normal spells. They have to be developed with a certain power level in mind, and once you have created them, they won't change. And your caster level doesn't affekt the spell at all. The only aspect of your level that affekts the spell is your Spellcraft bonus, which only determines whether you can cast the spell or not (or maybe if it's risky to do so), it won't change anything else about the spell. In order to change the spell, you have to remake it. As I have said, it would be alright if you "upgraded" the spell, but that would mean the old one is gone. If it weren't, you would get two spells for the price of one - say, you have a spell that costs you 50.000 to research, and you upgrade it to one that costs 70.000, you only pay the other 20.000 and have the 70k-spell. If you would keep the old one, you'd have 120.000 worth of spells and paid only 70.000! On the other side, it could be argumented that you haven't "deleted" the old scroll but merely used it as a blueprint in the creation of the new one. But it's probably similar to a scroll: if you learn a normal spell from a scroll, the scroll is consumed in the process. In the end, I could live with the rule that you can use the power level the spell used in a former incarnation, but It won't lower the Spellcraft DC! [/QUOTE]
