Spell Surge (Metamagic)

By draining away potential magic for additional spells, you have learned to make other spells more powerful.

Prerequisites

none

Benefit
When casting spontaneously or when preparing spells for the day, you are able to elect to expend an additional spell per day or spell slot to add to the save DC of another spell by +1. This ability can only be used with spells of the same level and only with spells up to 4th level.

For example, if you are able to spontaneously cast three 2nd level spells, you can, at the time of casting, increase the save DC of a spell you are about to cast by +1 and you would have remaining one 2nd level spell. In the case of spellcasters who prepare their spells, this decision would be made at the time spells are prepared.

Special
This effect can be applied multiple times. For example, if you normally had four 2nd level spells per day, you could elect to prepare or cast only a single 2nd level spell for the day, but that spell would be at +3 to the DC.
