Metamagic Feat to Make Single Target into Burst

[dvvega]

Is there any metamagic feat in 3.5 (I seem to remember one in 3.0) that makes a spell a burst spell or area of effect spell?

And if so, which book is it in?

I know of none, but depending on the spell, Chain Spell (in Complete Arcane, I believe) could do something similar.

What does that do? (I don't need the crunch, just the concept).

It chains the spell, duh .

It allows you to effect 1 extra target per level with a spell that has a single target. All targets have to be within 30 feet of each other. The level adjustment is 3 levels I think.

I don't know of any metamagic feats that turn a targeted spell into a burst effect (you mean like magic missile going KABOOM?) but I do know of a spell that has an effect like that.

It's one of the Nectrotic spells from Libris Mortis. If the target makes his save he gets d6/level damage, max 15d6. If he fails he dies and everyone within 20feet takes d6/level damage, max 15d6. And half the damage is vile .

I seem to recall having read something like recent inone of the freely available netbooks - Netbook of Feats or Gryphon's 3ed Feats. try those. Sorry I don't have a link for you.

Also, the effect on secondary targets is weaker. Half damage or -4 to the DC or something like that.

It works like the spell Chain Lightning, really.

That's right, forgot, half damage for secondary targets for damage dealing spells and -4 DC for other spells.
