Spell Immunity & Elemental Substitution

[Centaur]

If the party Cleric casts Spell immunity on someone and specifies 'Fire Ball' as the spell he is immune to, and then someone casts fireball on him with the metamagical feat of Elemental substitution and changes it to electricity, is he still immune? Is it still the same spell?

Thoughts...?

Yup. Just like he's immune to an Empowered Fireball or a Maximized Fireball.

The E-Sub Fireball can still be counterspelled by a normal Fireball.

The only Metamagic feat which could make a spell no-longer-subject to Spell Immunity is Heighten; if you heighten the Fireball to 5th level, it's no longer a "spell of 4th level or lower", so Spell Immunity doesn't apply.

Hyp really needs a "Smurf Advice" column somewhere.
