Metashape [Metafeat, Spellcasting]

You can shape your area spells to better suit your immediate needs.

Prerequisite: Int 16 or Wis 16, ability to cast spells or manifest powers, any other Metafeat.

Benefits: This is a spellcasting feat that scales with the highest-level spell slot you have.

• 1: Shape Spell/Power: You can modify an area spell by changing the area's shape to one of the following: Cylinder (10-foot radius, 30 feet high), a 40-foot cone, four 10ft cubes, a ball (20ft radius spread), or a 120 foot line. A spell modified in this way uses a slot one level higher than the spell's actual level. Adding this feat to a power requires you to expend psionic focus.
• 3: Acolyte of Shaping: You can alter area and effect spells that use one of the following shapes: burst, cone, cylinder, emanation, or spread. The alteration consists of creating spaces within the spell’s area or effect that are not subject to the spell. The minimum dimension for these spaces is a 5-foot cube. You may create up to two such unaffected spaces in a given spell. Furthermore, any shapeable spells have a minimum dimension of 5 feet instead of 10 feet. This does not change the cost of a spell or power.
• 5: Add the following areas as options when you modify a shaped spell: Tower (5-foot radius, 60 feet high), a 60-foot cone, a burst (30ft radius spread from your position), or a wall (one connected group of 10-ft. squares, one 10ft square/2 CL/ML). Additonally, you may now shape any spell that allows you to choose multiple targets within a certain distance greater than touch and allows a save.
• 7: Widen Power: You can alter a spell you have already used this feat's Shape ability to further increase its area. Any numeric measurements of the spell/power’s area increase by 100%. A spell modified in this way uses up a spell slot two levels higher than the spell’s actual level (for a total of three levels, combined with the Shape ability's cost). Modifying a power in this way increases the cost of the power by 4 (for a total of 4 power points and expended focus, combined with the Shape ability's cost). Additionally, you may now create a number of unaffected spaces in any given spell equal to the ability modifier you use to set save DCs. This does not change the cost of a spell or power.
• 9: You may Shape a number of spells/powers equal to the ability modifier you use to set save DCs per day without expending focus or increasing cost. You may Widen a spell/power you have shaped for no additional cost of spell levels/power points, but it costs an additional two daily uses of this ability.
