So I'd like a clarification on what you can do with an echoing spell metamagic rod.
Lets say I have a normal echoing spell metamagic rod. It can ge used 3 times up to lvl 6, great.
I prepare heal once, and only once.
Can I cast heal 4 times using all the charges of the rod, and then expending the spell one final time, or can I only cast it twice, using one charge of the rod, but I'm unable to use the rod on the spell again?
the rod let you use the metamagic feat 3/day without having said feat or using higher slot. lets have a closer look at some of the words.
"When you cast an echoing spell, it does not disappear entirely from memory, and you can cast it one additional time during that day. No effect that allows you to reprepare or recast a spell can affect the echoed spell... "
the way i read this is once you use the feat on the spell you get it back only once. and nothing can let you redo this on the same spell.
remember usually what would happen is one uses a spell slot 3 levels higher when he cast an echoed spell. that specific spell slot can cast it again, but nothing can regain it until you rest and regain it normally(which btw SHOULD be written otherwise you never get your spell back.EVER...)
Hmm, yes, thanks
