====Extrinsic Metamagic====

Extrinsic metamagic alters spells from the point of view of a third party, called the applier. Instead of requiring a slot adjustment like normal metamagic, extrinsic metamagic requires a source of Extrinsic Metamagic Points to function.  Many extrinsic metamagic feats allow for saving throws. The difficulty class for these saving throws is specified in the ability that allows one to use extrinsic metamagic.

Some extrinsic metamagic users may apply multiple extrinsic metamagic feats at the same time. The combined extrinsic metamagic allows a single will save by the caster; either all of the components are applied, or only those that did not allow a save are.

=====Cost of Extrinsic Metamagic=====

Most extrinsic metamagic feats have a cost per level of the spell being modified. Treat level 0 spells as if they were 1/2 level when calculating the point costs of applying extrinsic metamagic to 0 level spells. Multiply the cost per level by the level of the spell being modified. Round up. If multiple extrinsic metamagic feats are being applied simultaneously, total their individual costs before rounding.

The cost of using extrinsic metamagic is equal to the total cost of applying all of the applied extrinsic changes. 

=====Ordinary Metamagic as Extrinsic Metamagic=====

Anyone possessing an ordinary metamagic feat may use it as an extrinsic metamagic feat if she is able to use extrinsic metamagic. The price per level of the extrinsic metamagic version is equal to the difference in spell slot required to cast the spell without the regular metamagic feat applied and the spell slot required to cast it with the metamagic feat applied. If this is variable based on options, the price per level varies based on the choices made by the applier. If the metamagic feat would not require a higher level spell slot the extrinsic version of it has a price per level of 1/2. To apply the extrinsic metamagic version all requirements or restrictions on the original version must be met. Any choices that need to be made due to the feat's application, such as additional targets, are made by the applier. If applying the feat would lower the caster level of the spell or could cause something that was affected by the spell before to be less affected by it, such as an energy substitution or a reduction in range, the extrinsic version allows the spell's caster to make a will saving throw which negates the application of the feat. If the metamagic feat would increase the casting time of the spell the extrinsic version allows the spell's caster to negate the effects of the feat automatically. Otherwise the extrinsic version grants no saving throw.

|class="left"|A free spell does not consume a spell slot, charge, or use per day. If the spell was cast from a prepared spell slot the prepared spell is still prepared and ready to be cast again. If it was cast using a spontaneous spell slot, that slot is still available to cast a spell with. If the spell was cast using charges from an item the item retains the charges that would have been spent to cast it. If the spell originates from a source with limited uses per day it is cast without reducing the remaining uses/day. Free spell can not be used to modify a spell that comes from a source with uses that are renewed less frequently than daily. The cost of a free spell is five points per spell level, plus an additional one point per spell level for each slot higher than the actual spell level the slot used to cast the spell was.
