Not sure if a form already exists for this, but I thought I'd get it started.

7th level sorceror/wizard spells:
Lightning Rod

Description: What description. It is missing.

Referenced several times in spell lists in the book, so looks like just the spells descriptive text is required.

My DM said there was an official errata that limited the number of pearls of power a character could use per day. I can't find this anywhere.

Does anyone know if this is true, and if so could you provide a link?

My DM specifically believes it is 1 pearl/spell level/day now. If it is houserule fine, but he has stated it is official errata and I'd like the clarification if possible.

So my question is pretty straight forward.

Say I cast a maximized contagious flame. Per the description of maximize spell:
----------------------------------------------------------
Your spells have the maximum possible effect.

Benefit: All variable, numeric effects of a spell modified by this feat are maximized. Saving throws and opposed rolls are not affected, nor are spells without random variables.

----------------------------------------------------------

Per Contagious Flame:

----------------------------------------------------------
You blast several enemies with beams of fire. You may fire three rays, plus one additional ray for every four levels beyond 11th (to a maximum of five rays at 19th level). Each ray requires a ranged touch attack to hit and deals 4d6 points of fire damage.

The rays may be fired at the same or different targets, but all rays must be aimed at targets within 30 feet of each other and fired simultaneously.

Every round on your turn, a new ray of fire launches from each creature who took damage from the spell in the previous round-these new rays attack as if you fired them, but their point of origin is the previous creature damaged. You can choose the new targets as a free action, all of whom must be within close range (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) of their new starting point. This contagion of flame continues for a total of three rounds-a creature can be struck more than once by this spell over the course of these three rounds, although never by a ray of fire that launches from itself.
----------------------------------------------------------

So would all new rays from the original casting still be maximized? This is the only way that the spell would have the "maximum possible effect..." It also states they attack as if you fired them.

The same holds true for using reach spell, and extending the range to large. If I were to make a wizard using spell perfection cast a level 6 contagious flame maximized, and apply a rod of reach spell, could I theoretically cast rays at 400+40/level, and each round they restrike at that range, dealing maximum damage?
