Say I'm a first level Arcanist with the Potent Magic Exploit, and that as a trait I have Magic Lineage (Snapdragon Fireworks) and as a feat I have Extend Spell.
If I were to use Potent Magic to up my caster level, and then cast a Snapdragon Fireworks that has been Extended...would this really give me a 6 round Snapdragon Fireworks at 1st level?! ...or would it not stack like that?
...and thanks for any advice and help.
Whenever the arcanist expends 1 point from her arcane reservoir to increase the caster level of a spell, the caster level increases by 2 instead of 1. Whenever she expends 1 point from her arcane reservoir to increase the spell's DC, it increases by 2 instead of 1.
Points from the arcanist reservoir are used to fuel many of the arcanist's powers. In addition, the arcanist can expend 1 point from her arcane reservoir as a free action whenever she casts an arcanist spell. If she does, she can choose to increase the caster level by 1 or increase the spell's DC by 1. She can expend no more than 1 point from her reservoir on a given spell in this way.
It works as you think. You are casting Snapdragon Fireworks with a caster level of 3, and as it lasts a round a level, this lets it last 3 rounds, or 6 when Extended, which you get to prepare at no level change due to Magical Lineage.
So yes, you get 6-round Snapdragon Fireworks, so long as you spend points from your reservoir every time you cast it. At 2ndlevel, it would be 8 rounds, at 3rd it would be 10... so long as you are using your reservoir, in any event.

There's nothing wrong with simple questions. That's how we learn, after all, one step at a time. I'm more than happy to help where I can.
Yoink.
