I'm thinking to allow this feat to be taken by my players.
Prerequisite: At least 1 Metamagic Feat, Domain or School Power
Select one arcane school/domain power available at 1st level of the class granting the school/domain that is normally usable a number of times per day equal to 3 + Intelligence modifier or Wisdom Modifier (or Charisma for School Understanding).
As a swift action you can pay the Metamagic level increase cost in uses of your Domain/School Power to apply the Metamagic feat.
For example: By expending 2 uses of your Bit of Luck power you can extend the duration to two rounds in combination with the Extend Spell Metamagic feat.
You can take this feat multiple times, each time for a different power.
What about powers that require swift actions (such as teleportations Shift)? Maybe they just can't be modified?
Or quicken spell that require a swift action? Could be just subsumed in the use of swift action to use this feat?
Maybe it should increase the "casting" time from a standard into a full round action like the sorcerers use of Metamagic feats.
Thoughts? Would this be too powerful?

Just allow monster feats [Metamagic] Spell-Like Ability (such as Empower Spell-Like Ability), where School/Domain powers count as Spell-Like Abilities of 1st level for the purposes of the feat(FAQ).

Definitely this - it's already strong enough as a specific metamagic, 3/day, with level restrictions. Easy to expand the list of metamagics available.
If you are going to allow any metamagic, at least require they be able to cast a spell of the modified level.
Some of these are very very powerful - extended dazing touch would be amazing.
Interesting but it seems too powerful. I'd rather not have them do that through just caster level because it doesn't cost you anything (other than the one time feat investment of course). Dazing for a conjuration school for example with its 9 or so darts each day
One more thing, you could only ever apply one metamagic feat. I had intentioned that but it got lost during transcribing and rewriting.
I had sort of always assumed that metamagic feats had caster level prerequisites. So that's a good point. Can only be done if you have the spell slot necessary spell slot.
Maybe a better way to do it would be that you'd need to expend one of your prepared spells of that level.
