Split Spell [Magic, Metamagic]

Your spell divides into smaller, equally-sized spells.

Prerequisite: None.

Benefit: A split spell becomes a number of smaller spells. Each of the smaller spells must have the same number of Power points allocated to it. The split spells can be aimed at the same target multiple times, or at additional targets. All targets must be within close range of each other. Each split spell must hit, overcome spell resistance, and take effect separately. A target hit by more than one split spell must save against each one. The split spell's Magic Power is not reduced, but effects based on Power points expended (such as damage) are based on the Power points allocated to each split spell. The split spells are used in one of the following ways, as chosen by the caster.

  1. All of the split spells are used at once.
  2. The split spells are used over time. The base spell's duration is changed to 1 round per Power point expended casting the spell. The caster can use a standard action to use 1 split spell each round. Any split spells not used when the spell's duration expires are lost.

Spells that have a range of personal, spells with a target of you, and spells that have more than one target cannot be affected by this feat.

Power Cost: A split spell uses up no additional Power points.
