I wouldn't recommend anyone taking it.Why did you take Extend Spell? As far as I can tell, all it is doing at the moment is allowing you to use a first level spell slot to cast an extended dancing lights or an extended detect magic, which isn't very useful.As a rule, I would take metamagic feats later on in your career (if at all), when you have more options with them.I like the various heritage feats in Complete Arcane and Players Handbook 2 (and apparently Complete Mage), and the bloodline feats from Dragon Compendium, but if you don't have access to those books its a moot point.I have always found improved initiative to be a useful feat for spellcasters.Spell selection is an area where opinions differ, and there isn't a "best" choice.Personally, I think sleep is a more useful first level attacking spell as it affects more opponents (and a solitary 1d4+1 magic missile isn't very impressive).I also think mage armour is a better defensive spell than shield, as its longer duration means you can cast it in advance, rather than having to wait until combat is imminent. (Also, if you have a monk in the party, consider casting it on them as well - it will give you a friend for life.)As a halfling, presumably your AC is pretty good anyway, so you might have foregone a defensive spell completely in order to have two offensive spells, such as sleep and magic missile.</blockquote>
