Runestone of Power +Metamagic Rod

[Killua the Bard]

Is it possible to cast a spell with a Metamagic Rod while drawing the Spell Slot from a Runestone of Power?

If i for example own a Runestone of Power Level 3, i can use it for Casting Haste without losing a Spell Slot.

Isn't it possible to just grab a Metamagic Rod of Quicken Spells , thus making the Spell a swift action, and then use the Runestone of Power to cast? Thus casting haste very efficient without losing a slot.

My main point of confusion is if i have to Have the stone in my hand or if i can just activate it.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can use the Runestone and Rod together.

The in-hand question is more open. My gut reaction is no, but that's more for balance reasons than actual writing. I'd chat with your GM there.

If you need the stone in hand, you're going to need a third limb somewhere.

Yup.

Now if only there were tons of ways to do that, or you just find spells without somatic components, or you just take away their somatic components because we have a feat for that...
