Meta-Magic

Meta-Magics are special abilities that modify the way other abilities are cast.

  1. Meta-Magics do not follow the typical casting process.
    • To use a meta-magic, the caster must say the meta-magic incantation while casting the ability that they wish to modify. It must be said after the target is declared but before the incantation for the modified spell.
    • Below is an example of someone casting Hold Person with the Extension meta-magic against a player named Robin.

    "Robin, Extension, I command thee to stop. I command thee to stop. I command thee to stop!"

  2. Meta-Magics are expended once their incantation is said, whether or not the modified spell is completed.

  3. Casters cannot use multiple meta-magics simultaneously on a single ability.
