I may be unclear on the metamagic rules, but I thought if one Magical Lineaged Ball Lightning and Spell Perfected it, they could cast a Quickened Dazing Ball of Lightning at level 15? Wouldn't it just take up a 6th level slot?

Ball Ligntning = 4th level spell
Magical Lineaged = -1 spell level
Quicken Spell = +4 spell levels
Dazing Spell = +3 spell levels
4+3+4-1 = 10th level spell
Doesn't work.
Pick one spell which you have the ability to cast. Whenever you cast that spell you may apply any one metamagic feat you have to that spell without affecting its level or casting time, as long as the total modified level of the spell does not use a spell slot above 9th level. In addition, if you have other feats which allow you to apply a set numerical bonus to any aspect of this spell (such as Spell Focus, Spell Penetration, Weapon Focus [ray], and so on), double the bonus granted by that feat when applied to this spell.
This includes the spell level adjustment from the metamagic feat you are choosing to exclude with Spell Perfection. Otherwise, Heighten Spell would break the game.
