As a free action you may apply any metamagic feat you possess to a spell cast by expending a number of metamagic points equal to the spell level adjustment. The level of the spell is unchanged. If the spell’s normal casting time is a standard action, casting a metamagic version is a full-round action. This is not the same as a 1-round casting time. The only exception is for spells modified by the Quicken Spell metamagic feat, which can be cast as normal using this feat.

You know how to modify your spells to weaken your targets temporarily.
Prerequisites: Follower of Ludimar

Enervating Spell [Metamagic]

You know how to modify your spells to sap the life from targets.
Prerequisites: Follower of Ludimar
Benefit:Any creature damaged by an enervating spell receives a negative level. If the Number of negative levels possessed by a creature exceeds their hit die they are killed.

Thought Magic [Metamagic]**

You are trained to cast spells with a mere thought, leaving little trace that you are the caster and allowing few impediments to your magics.

You are especially hard to kill and remain conscious with even the most grievous wounds.

Benefit: When reduced to negative hit points you begin dying however you remain conscious and may continue to make actions. Each strenuous action you undertake (see disabled) deals an additional 1d4 points of damage. As usual for a dying character, at the end of each round you must make your stabilization Fort Save but while you can perish from failed saves you cannot begin to stabilize unless you refrain from strenuous actions.


Doubling up on metamagic feats

Each metamagic feat may be used once on any given spell. If the character elects to take the same feat more than once, the effects can be applied that many times, keeping with the doubled doublings rules. Thus, a twice empowered spell is twice as powerful as a normal spell of the same kind.
