Extend Spell questions

[Thurbane]

Just some questions about the Extend Spell metamagic feat. The feat doubles the duration of spells - this is straightforward with spells like Haste, Slow, Fly etc.

I'm wondering about spells like Ice Storm (1 round duration). Does this make the Ice Storm last for 2 rounds (and inflict damage each round).

How about Melf's Acid Arrow? Does it double the number of rounds that the arrow continues to inflict damage?

Finally, how about Major Image? Does it become concrentration + 6 rounds?

Thanks - T

Ice Storm- Yea
Acid Arrow- Yea
Major Image- Nay. It's a concentration duration spell, which explicitly called out as not allowed for Extend Spell. Or rather...you can do it but the Major Image wouldn't actually be extended.

Extend Spell doesn't apply to spells with duration concentration. But Major Image doesn't have a duration of concentration (which applying Extend to wouldn't make any sense). It has a duration of Concentration+3 Rounds. I'll claim that it would double the 3 rounds to 6.

Also nice with Creeping Cold, 2nd lvl druid spell. One question I would have is how would people rule the damage dealt since it scales up. Same thing with Heat Metal. Course both of these take a fair amount of time to do thier damage. But still nice for say a hit and run kinda thing.
