From the description it sounds like giving up a 7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0 spell (total 28) and then an extra 2nd level spell for 30, allowing a maximised horrid wilting doing 90 damage to all your foes in a large area.Or by the same addition, you could maximise Meteor Swarm for 8..0 spells (36 levels right there!)I think a more balanced version would be copying Monte Cooks spell weaving for a feat, and allow someone with this feat to eithera) turn a slot of spell level x into two slots of spell level x-1orb) merge together three slots of spell level x into one slot of spell level x+1 (no higher than the maximum castable anyway)e.g. a 9th level wizard could decide not to prepare his 5th level spell and prepare an additional two Poly Self spells instead.e.g. a 9th level wizard could decide to forgo his three 4th level spell slots  and prepare an additional 5th level spell, because he is sure he's going to need a teleport for a quick exit.Sorcerers would benefit from this merging of spells or splitting of spell slots on the fly.How does that idea sound?</blockquote>
