So I am in a game where I am playing a wizard who has the book of harms, a spell book with a useful ability:
Quote:
Harmful Surge (Su) You can maximize a spell, but doing so damages you. Spend this boon effect as a free action when you cast a wizard evocation spell. When you do, you can treat that spell as if it were cast with the Maximize Spell metamagic feat, but you take 1d4 points of damage × the level of the spell that you are maximizing. The damage you take cannot be reduced in any way.
I have been using it such that once a day I get a Maximize Spell effect on an evocation spell and take some damage WITHOUT adjusting what spell slot that spell takes up.
My DM has contacted me and says that is not how he thinks it works, that is should take up a higher spell slot.
So my question: How does it work?
