Metamagic and Spell Storing Weapons

[prosauce]

There seems to be a lot of grey area around this subject in general.

My question is this: Since a spell storing weapon can only hold spells that have a casting time of one standard action, does this completely prevent a Sorcerer or Bard from applying metamagic feats to spells stored in the weapon?

There are ways to shorten the casting time of a meta magic spell, such as the arcane bloodline and quicken spell.

A quickened cantrip is already 4th level, so a standard spell storing weapon wouldn't hold it. Good point about the Arcane bloodline though. At least there is one option if we're taking it at RAW.

My hangup is that the extra casting time represents the the lack of preparedness when compared to a wizard casting the same spell. I find it odd that the extra time spent casting the same spell would prevent the sorcerer from storing it in a weapon, especially out of combat.

The casting time of the spell is still "1 Standard Action."

It just happens to take a full round for you to cast it.
