In another thread Cold Napalm claimed that, according to RAW, a spontaneous caster (such as a sorcerer) who applied multiple metamagic feats to a single spell (such as an empowered maximized fireball) would add multiple full round actions to the casting time, one for each metamagic feat applied (or two full round actions for the above example).
Because it was off topic in the other thread, and my interest has been piqued, I am starting this thread in the hopes that the community (and perhaps a game designer if we're lucky) can help prove whether or not Mr. Napalm's interpretation is the correct one.
I personally disagree with his interpretation of RAW and think that a standard action spell being spontaneously cast with metamagic will always be a single full round action, regardless of how many metamagic feats are applied to it.
What say you?
Was there ever an official response to this issue?
Every forum thread I have found and read reached the conclusion that any spell with an original casting time of a standard action has a max casting time of a full round action regardless of how many metamagic feats are applied to it, but did Paizo ever reveal the official verdict on the matter?
