Benefit: Casting a quickened spell is a
free action. You can
perform another action, even casting another spell, in the same round as you cast a quickened spell. You may cast only one quickened spell per round. A spell whose casting time is more than 1 full round action cannot be quickened. A quickened spell uses up a spell slot four levels higher than the spell's actual level. Casting a quickened spell doesn't provoke an
attack of opportunity.
Special: This feat can't be applied to any spell cast spontaneously (including
sorcerer spells,
bard spells, and
cleric or
druid spells cast spontaneously), since applying a
metamagic feat to a spontaneously cast spell automatically increases the casting time to a
full-round action.
