Quicken Spell

Quicken Spell

Type: Metamagic
Source: Player's Handbook v.3.5

You can cast a spell with a moment's thought.

Benefit: Casting a quickened spell is an swift action. You can perform another action, even casting another spell, in the same round as you cast a quickened spell. You may cast only one quickened spell per round. A spell whose casting time is more than 1 full round action cannot be quickened. A quickened spell uses up a spell slot four levels higher than the spell’s actual level. Casting a quickened spell doesn’t provoke an attack of opportunity.
