Domain Spell Slots and Metamagic Feats.

[Kalyth]

Can you metamagic a domain spell by preparing it in a higher level domain slot?

Can you just prepare a domain spell in a higher level slot just for the heck of?

Example:
3rd level Domain Spell: Fireball

Can I empower it and use my 5th level domain slot?

Can I just prepare it in my 4th level domain slot and my 3rd level domain slot so I can cast it twice?

Yes and yes.

I asked this same question in April 2010. Unfortunately its burried in the archives and the "Search" link will not take you to the post. I think it was answered by a Paizo staffer, but I can't really remember.

The link has now been fixed, although I now see that there was no Paizo response as I had thought.
