Learned Metamagic [Metamagic]
Through hard work, study, and dedication, you have learned to combine your arcane knowledge with your innate spell-casting ability, enabling you to prepare certain metamagic spells.
Prerequisites: The ability to cast arcane spells without preparation, Int 13+, Any Other Metamagic Feat.
Benefit: When learning a new spell, you can choose to learn a metamagically altered version of a standard spell instead. The metamagically altered spell counts as a spell of the effective level the applied metamagic feat would impose. Such spells can only be altered using Metamagic Feats the character already knows (not including this one). This choice is permanent; the spell cannot be cast without the metamagic effect unless the character uses a second spell slot to learn an unaltered version of the spell.
Metamagic spells used in this way can be further altered by applying Metamagic feats as normal. Applying the same metamagic feat to a permanently metamagically altered spell has no effect.
For example: a Sorcerer who possesses the Empower Spell feat reaches 10th level, and rather than learn a 5th level spell as normal, he chooses to learn Empowered Fireball. Fireball is normally a 3rd level spell, but with the Empower Spell feat applied counts as a 5th level spell. If the character ever wishes to cast a normal Fireball he must learn an unaltered version of the spell. Lastly, the sorcerer could not apply Empower Spell to the Empowered Fireball.
