V9:Meta-Magic

Developer Note: The current V9 Rules can be found here.

The V9 Wiki is currently obsolete. The Project Phoenix Google Doc is the main source of V9 rules going forward.
We will eventually rebuild the wiki as a comprehensive rules reference, but now is not that time.

• This wiki is the detailed, comprehensive form of the ruleset. You can find the condensed Quick-Play rules here. These are currently still a work in progress.

Meta-Magic

Meta-Magics are special abilities that modify the way other abilities are cast.

1. Meta-Magics do not follow the typical casting process.
   • To use a meta-magic, the caster must say the meta-magic incantation while casting the ability that they wish to modify. It must be said after the target is declared but before the incantation for the modified spell.
   • Below is an example of someone casting Hold Person with the Extension meta-magic against a player named Robin.
     
     
   "Robin, Extension, I command thee to stop. I command thee to stop. I command thee to stop!"


2. Meta-Magics are expended once their incantation is said, whether or not the modified spell is completed.


3. Casters cannot use multiple meta-magics simultaneously on a single ability.
