Can you take Spell Perfection more than once....

And apply it to a different spell each time?

The Exchange

"Spell Perfection

You are unequaled at the casting of one particular spell.

Prerequisites: Spellcraft 15 ranks, at least three metamagic feats.

Benefit: Pick one spell which you have the ability to cast. Whenever you cast that spell you may apply any one metamagic feat you have to that spell without affecting its level or casting time, as long as the total modified level of the spell does not use a spell slot above 9th level. In addition, if you have other feats which allow you to apply a set numerical bonus to any aspect of this spell (such as Spell Focus, Spell Penetration, Weapon Focus [ray], and so on), double the bonus granted by that feat when applied to this spell."

It doesn't say you can't take it again....although I don't think it would do much good on the same spell twice. Usually feats like this state that it can be taken again but must be applied to different spells. I assume they forgot to add that part, as i see no reason to limit this to only once per PC.

RAW I would say no since it lacks the wording other feats like this have that say you can take it more than once.

RAI though it was probably an oversight and I'd allow it in my games as long as you picked a different spell each time.


Feats that can be taken more than once state that. Otherwise no, you can only take it once. Since Spell Perfection lacks a line indicating it can be taken more than once, it can only be taken once.

It also wasn't forgotten, it was an intentional power limit on spell casters. Spell Perfection is a very powerful feat, it is not intended for you to be able to access it twice.

That's what I thought. Thanks.
