Mystical Music of the Wicked Witch: Unmasking the Soundtrack of Evil

At the stroke of midnight, a chilling and spellbinding song echoes through the dark woods. It is the haunting melody of the evil witch from the west, her voice filled with enchantment and malice. As she sings, her words weave a wicked spell that ensnares unsuspecting souls. With each note, her power grows stronger, captivating all who hear her song. The melody dances on the wind, calling forth ancient magic and summoning dark forces. Those who dare to listen find themselves unable to break free from its grasp.

I smiled to myself at her confusion. Having been stuck in a vast wasteland of desert and mirrors the succubus-witch had dubbed the In-Between for more than a millennium, sometimes Wynne’s understanding of colloquialisms wasn’t up to scratch. I don’t know why I thought it was funny, but I did.

But it had been more weeks than I d like to admit since our kiss and I was tired of waiting for this grown man to figure out what he was going to do with me. By RAW, it works as mentioned in the second reading, so you could get pretty silly with Twin Greater Arcane Fusions if you put enough modifiers to them.

Those who dare to listen find themselves unable to break free from its grasp. The song of the evil witch from the west holds a twisted allure, drawing in even the most virtuous of souls. Its siren-like quality lures victims into a trance-like state, where they become puppets to her every command.

Residual magic in the words whispered

Lingering metamagic tactics has wording
" If you cast a spell affected by one or more metamagic feats, and then cast the same spell in the next round, you can apply any one of the metamagic effects from the first casting to the second casting, but without any change to the spell's level".

Normally you casts one spell per round, but there are means to cast more. So I'm wonder how this feat works in such conditions. Either it works on any two subsequent casting even if they occurred in the same round, or it requires specifically a round run between casts. In the latter case would ALL spells casts in the second round benefit from metamagic enhancement from the first round?

I agree with this.

Arcane Fusions usage could give a weird results. That is the direct consequence of dual spell level/slot level conception. If you read original wording, only spell level is what matters, so you could use Arcane Fusion to power twin maximized empowered chain Orb of Force. So the wording was "fixed" in errata.

Shadowcraft mage could be a good example. On the first round he uses metamagic buster to cast heightened to 10th level silent image from the 1st level slot. Divine metamagic, Bardic music metamagic, Incantatrix's instant metamagic, whatever else. He could use his 9th level spell how he wishes. Then in the second round dark magic descends upon mortals. The shadowcraft mage uses first level slot containing Silent Image to shape shadow into the miracle spell. Use miracle spell to mimic 5th level spell Arcane Fusion. Now he could cast two silent illusions each heightened above 9th level. So he could use first one to produce some side-effect and the second one to drive loop further. So the mage could cast infinite amount of spells per round.

The old versions was safer despite granting free metamagic to caster.

Just affirming: it works on a spell cast in the next round, by the RAW. The wording "on this second spell" refers to the counting as given in the feat. "You cast one spell, then another in the next round," the 'second' spell is the one in the next round, because it's the second one mentioned in the antecedent sentence. It doesn't matter if you also cast 12 other spells in the round you cast the "first" spell; the "second spell" referred to is the same spell being cast again in the next round, because "second" is counting the spells as mentioned in the sentence, not the spell(s) you're casting overall.

I disagree with your analysis, but even accepting it, I agree with what you say in terms of "a spell" cast on the next round - not as many as you like.

Spell application order is not what counted by the "second" spell. Use full wordings "If you cast a spell affected by one or more metamagic feats, and then cast the same spell in the next round". "second" is not the order of spell casting, the word relies to order of if-clause. If-clause depicts situation when two spells are cast. There first spell is defined by "using metamagic", the second spell by "being the same spell as first". So the feat works on any pair of such spells that meets the condition. There is no specific requirements for being exclusively cast spells.

So each time you cast spell check if the condition is fulfilled. Cast first spell in second round. Check condition, it's ok, use feat. Cast second spell in the same round, check condition, use feat, cast third spell, check condition, use feat and so on.

I think we're in agreement, and you just misparsed what I was saying, since you more or less repeated it in different words (assuming I'm parsing you correctly).

That was me who misparsed your previous message.

My point is the feat gives many-to-many relation. If any pair of spells matches the if clause, the feat works. If you cast three different spells in the first round and the same spells in the second round then all second round spells get amplified. If you cast one of this spells three times, it would still be amplified three times.

This is also how I read it, for what it's worth.

“I did,” I agreed, turning to meet his now sea-foam green eyes. His wolf was close to the surface, magic flooded his irises with his wolf’s power. That show of power would have worried most people. But not me. I knew in my gut that neither Ev, nor his wolf, would ever hurt me. “I also told you not to wait too long or you might miss your chance.” I was so proud of myself, managing to get the words out without my voice shaking too much. I made my way around him with my shoulders back and my head high, looking to escape as quickly as my two feet would carry me.

The melody transforms their hearts, filling them with darkness and corruption. Yet, amidst the eerie refrain, there is a glimmer of hope. Those with strong wills and pure hearts can resist the song's temptation. They can see through the illusion, recognizing the witch's true nature. It is these brave individuals who stand against her, their courage shining brighter than any spell she can cast. The spellbinding song of the evil witch from the west is a testament to the power of music and its ability to manipulate emotions. It serves as a reminder that not all that glitters is gold, and that sometimes, even the most beautiful melodies can mask the darkest intentions. Those who find themselves caught in its wicked web must fight to break free, reclaiming their own voices and extinguishing the witch's spell..
