So the rules on Cleric/Druid spontaneous casting and their casting time increase are well-stated, but it's less clear to me whether or not level adjustments are applied, or if it is only the casting time increase.
Spontaneous Casting and Metamagic Feats: A cleric spontaneously casting a cure or inflict spell, or a druid spontaneously casting a summon nature’s ally spell, can cast a metamagic version of it instead. Extra time is also required in this case. Casting a standard action metamagic spell spontaneously is a full-round action, and a spell with a longer casting time takes an extra full-round action to cast. The only exception is for spells modified by the Quicken Spell feat, which can be cast as a swift action.
They reiterate the metamagic rules for Spontaneous Casters but omit the section talking about how it uses up higher spell slots than normal. It seems like it should be obvious that the level adjustment is still applied, but since it is reiterated in the Prepared/Spontaneous sections but not the Cleric/Druid spontaneous edge case, I'd like someone to confirm for me the result.
Level adjustments are applied as well; level adjustments apply to any metamagic, whether spontaneous or prepared.

There are a lot of examples of rules reiterated in one place and not the other, with nothing meaningful about the omitting.
It is some times copy fitting, sometimes forgetting to restate, sometimes restating the obvious, and maybe sometimes something I didn't think of just now.
Cool, thanks you two.
