Maximize Spell

Type of Feat: Metamagic

Prerequisite: Ability to cast 3rd-level spells.

Specifics: Maximized spells apply all variable numeric effects - including damage, number of targets, and so on - at their maximum values.

Use: A maximized spell occupies a spell slot three levels higher than normal. Saving throws and opposed rolls, such as those made when Dispel Magic is cast, are not affected.
