I want to know what ENWorlders think about the subject. Here are the two camps as I see them.Metamagic Rods Are Used Only When Casting The Spell: That is, when a cleric or wizard casts a spell that he wants to enhance with metamagic from a metamagic rod, he need only wield the rod during the casting. Use of the rod requires no preparation in advance and the character can decide to use it at any time, regardless of when spells were prepared.Metamagic Rods Are Used Only When Preparing The Spell: That is, when a cleric or wizard memorizes spells for the day, they decide at that time which spells to enhance with the metamagic rods. Later, upon casting the spell, the rod is no longer needed as its magic has already provided the power for the metamagic during memorization.So which interpretation do you favor? I realize there might be other opinions on the matter. If so, post them here. Note this isn't a discussion of the way it ought to be, just your opinion on what the RAW says (or implies as may be the case).</blockquote>
