===== Metacantation =====

<u>Prerequisite</u>

* Ability to cast Incantations.
 
-
<u>Benefit</u><br/>
 
-
With this feat, you may ready any Incantation in a higher-level slot in order to add any appropriate Special Ability to a canted armor or weapon, in addition to any they may have per the Incantation description. The level of the Incantation increases by the equivalent enhancement bonus cost of the Special Ability: for example, adding ''Keen'' to an Incantation would increase its level by 1, while adding ''Vorpal'' would increase its level by 5. For Special Abilities without an enhancement bonus equivalency, use the following chart:
 
-
{| cellpadding=1px style="background-color: #000000; text-align: center;"
 
-
|- style="background-color: #8E5A2E; color: #FFFFFF;"
 
-
! Cost !! Incantation Level Increase
 
-
|- style="background-color: #f0e7d3;"
 
-
| 0 - 2,000 gp || +1
 
-
|- style="background-color: #ffffff;"
 
-
| 2,001 - 8,000 gp || +2
 
-
|- style="background-color: #f0e7d3;"
 
-
| 8,001 - 18,000 gp || +3
 
-
|- style="background-color: #ffffff;"
 
-
| 18,001 - 32,000 gp || +4
 
-
|- style="background-color: #f0e7d3;"
 
-
| 32,001 - 50,000 gp || +5
 
-
|- style="background-color: #ffffff;"
 
-
| 50,001+ gp || ''impossible''
 
-
|}
 
-
A metacanted Incantation still counts as readied, even if in an unusual slot, and as usual, cannot be readied again, metacanted or not.
 
-
 
-
As with ''Arcanized Weaponry'', if an Incantation attacks repeatedly against the same target, that target is subject to the effects of any Special Abilities added by Metacantation only once. With the exception of the Special Abilities listed in the individual Incantation descriptions, any given Special Ability can only be applied to a target once per Incantation.
