Spellfire

[Likodan]

Another small question. Spellfire is considered to be raw magic. Thus, can it be enchanced by metamagic feats?

 

[Angel Tarragon]

no.

By the rules, no. My reasoning is that magic called forth by spells is given form via the mystic gestures and formulae of the spell. Metamagic alters those gestures and formulae, much like altering the constants in an algebra equation. Now, if there ARE no equations to alter, then...

The reasoning would not hold for sorcerers

However, metamagic applies to spells, and Spellfire is not a spell.

As a spellcaster's knowledge of magic grows, she can learn to cast spells in ways slightly different from the ways in which the spells were originally designed or learned.

CMIIW, but Sorcerers still have to abide by the same spellcasting rules as Wizards, no? That is, somatic gestures, verbal and material components when casting a spell...

I meant that sorcerers, while needing components, cast via the force of their personality and not via knowledge or formulae. I'm pretty sure that a sorcerer would be bored to tears if a wizard would explain to her why her magic works. She just cares that it works.

Just because they don't know the formulae doesn't mean they don't follow them.

Spellfire + metamagic? No. Well, that answer's that question for me. Thanks all.
