As a wizard (or witch in my case) is it possible to prep a spell with a metamagic with the foreknowledge it will meet the requirements?
For instance, I have Rime Spell which makes your spells with [Cold] in the descriptor entangle a creature who took damage by your spell for 1round/level.
If I am playing a Winter Witch who has the Hex, Frozen Caress, which adds the [Cold] descriptor and deals 1d4 points of cold damage as a swift action to whatever spell you are casting, then could I have the foreknowledge and prep a spell with Rime that doesn't have the cold descriptor?
I am wanting to use Inflict Light Wounds with Rime Spell and add the Frozen Caress before I cast it.
I don't think so.
From the Metamagic Feats rules, it says "Metamagic feats cannot be used with all spells. See the specific feat descriptions for the spells that a particular feat can't modify."
Looking at various feats--including Rime Spell, the "can't modify" language is usually "This feat only affects spells..." or "This feat does not affect spells..."
So the spell bring prepared seems to need the [cold] descriptor from the start.
Maybe Preferred Spell might help when you can take it.
