So the target restrictions on effect words always annoyed me. From a DM standpoint, I can understand why they exist, otherwise some wordspells would be a bit OP. I tried to balance this feat so that I could get what I want out of it.
Thoughts anyone?
Expanded Word
You have learned to use an effect word in new ways.
Prerequisites: Caster level 5th, Experimental Spellcaster
Benefit: Choose one effect word you know with one or more target restrictions. You may now use any target word you have the ability to use in conjunction with that effect word.
Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a different effect word.

Ok, so I just thought about it, and I guess I need help balancing it. Some of the effect words don't make any sense with some of the target words, like "Predict" and "Barrier" together don't make any sense. I think it would give more freedom in casting (more of a: "playing with the essence of magic" kind of thing), but there's really no way to stat some of the effects you could create. At least none that would make any sense. The idea that started this feat was combining "Barrier" and "Greater Wound", to make a wall that hurt people to walk through. I know there are better ways to do that, namely with the Wall words, but it's an idea.
