Reach Spell

[The Total Package]

Can Reach spell be used with Focus Spells?

[HammerJack]

Yes. Focus spells are spells.

[Finoan]

Agreed.

Also, Reach Spell does not have the 'special' restriction that Quickened Casting does that limits its use to spells gained from the class.

So you can use Reach Spell with focus spells or archetype slot spells that you gain from an archetype including a multiclass archetype.

Remind me please if spellshapes work with spells from items. Is casting from an item Cast a Spell?

I think so long as the item has a "Activate: Cast a Spell" then yes, the PC is still casting a spell and default metamagic is compatible.

Note that if "Cast a Spell" items were *not* compatible, this means all wands, scrolls, spellhearts, and even staves would be incompatible with metamagic.

But beware that many items use a concentrate/envision Activate, to then provide an effect similar to a spell cast. These are not compatible with a PC's spell metamagic.
