Extra Gnome Magic is a little... inconsistent. In searching, I saw one or two other posts on this, one with no comments and another with two that did not give any solid answers. While it is unlikely that I'll get any Paizo staff to weigh in on this (it's hardly game-breaking) I thought I'd at least put it out there in case anyone had some insight into the feat's intent.
The feat says:
"Benefit: You gain an additional three uses per day of your gnome spell-like abilities (dancing lights, ghost sound, prestidigitation). You can use these in any combination; for example, you can use dancing lights four times in one day (taking all three additional uses for the same spell), or you can cast ghost sound twice, prestidigitation twice, speak with animals twice, and dancing lights once. If you have a feat, trait, or other ability that changes your racial 0-level spell-like abilities to other 0-level spells, this feat applies to them instead."
So, first it specifically excludes speak with animals, then goes on to create an example in which this feat grants an additional use of speak with animals. Then, it once again implies that this feat is meant to work just with the 0-level spells.
There are three interpretations, as I see:
1: The feat was meant to apply only to the 0-level spell-like abilities, and the example was a typo.
2: The feat was meant to apply to all the spell-like abilities, regardless of level, feats, or traits, and the last sentence is just awkwardly worded.
3: The feat was meant to apply to all the spell-like abilities, unless you change them, in which case it only applies to the 0-level ones.
The third was is how I read this, RAW. I think it was probably intended to work as either the first or second, but I have no idea which one. Given that the trait Naturally Gifted is unrestricted by whether the spell is 1-level or 0-level, I am inclined toward the second. However, that trait makes no provisions for any alternate spell-like abilities, so I am at a bit of a loss. Any thoughts?
