mindblade and metamagics

[666bender]

as the mindblade never memorize spells, that mean he can never use metamagic with spell combat ?

Technically because it requires a standard action, you wouldn't even be able to cast a quickened spell. But yeah, you're SoL for metamagic on mindblade's spell combat.

If you intend to specialize in one spell, as Magi often do, you can always take Spontaneous Metafocus.

However, this strategy often doesn't work for the Mindblade due to their heightened Concentration checks. Most people I've seen suggest using a different strategy, such as Frostbite.
