[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 1506686, member: 478"] While memorizing, since it will be a metamagic feat then and wizards use it like that. Only for sorcerers (and bards), tho, if it were a metamagic feat. Now, that's a good question. My reasoning behind the ability (and while it is pretty unrestricted), was this. There are limites (i.e. in the psionic system) to prevent people from splitting a high level spell/power into several low level ones. In the case of psionics, it's the scaling/augmenting, which prevents this "abuse" of their flexibility. The opposite is not true, however, small portions can be added together to form a larger part (i.e. higher level power). So it is obviously assumed, and many comments also point into this direction, that while quickly burning one's slots to gain higher results in shorter time is surely powerful, the cost of running dry on spells is also considerable and balances this just fine. This is the arcane equivalent of that sub-ability of psionics. Ok. Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
