Master Staff...

[Dwarmaj]

The Epic Feat, Master Staff, allows a caster to use a spell slot instead of a staff charge to cast a spell from a staff. Would Staff spells that drain two charges cost two spell slots or just one?

Well, it's an Epic feat, so there aren't too many choices...

It is from the Epic Level Handbook
I think you only pay one spell slot regardless of how many charges it requires.

Hey... He posted this as a 3.5 question... I searched the new epic stuff in the 3.5 SRD... it wasn't there... so that is why I asked.

Since it says 'you can substitute a spell slot instead of using a chrage', I believe it is on a one-for-one basis. Meaning two spells slots for two charges.

Master Staff also says "you may lose a prepared spell to emulate a wand charge". I think most of the first paragraph is a cut and paste for the Master Wand feat that does not have the mulitiple charge issue. IMO this sentence should read 'you can substitute a spell slot instead of using the normal charge(s)'

Also in the example given a Lightning bolt (heightened to 5th level) is being paid for with a third level spell in contradiction to the equal to or higher including metamagic enhancement clause.
