Gwernoc's page

I find both sites useful for different things. I tend to use AoN when I'm building characters but often use the d20pfsrd for look ups.

As a side note if you're searching for things on AoN and find the search not to your liking remember that google is happy to help. Just go 'site:archivesofnethys.com <your query here>' and google will find it for you.
I use that trick for plenty of websites because google is usually better at searching than anyone else :P

You're ignoring everything from this first part of the feat:

Metamagic rods hold the essence of a metamagic feat, allowing the user to apply metamagic effects to spells (but not spell-like abilities) as they are cast. This does not change the spell slot of the altered spell. All the rods described here are use-activated (but casting spells in a threatened area still draws an attack of opportunity). A caster may only use one metamagic rod on any given spell, but it is permissible to combine a rod with metamagic feats possessed by the rod's wielder.

1. Why would you assume something is fluff when that fluff is contradicted by the rest of the text?
