Arcane Springsource

From Loranon

This six-inch diamater glowing golden ball is much valued by arcane spellcasters. In the posession of an arcane spell caster, it can be used once per day to empower, enlarge, extend, maximize, quicken, or silence a spell of 5th level or lower.

However, it is often much more beneficial for the Springsource to remain unmoved in one spot. If a Springsource remains unmoved for 10 years, the following effect takes hold:

All arcane spells cast within 100 yards from the Springsource, can make use of the power of an arcane wellspring. The range increases by 100 yards for every 10 years that the Springsource remains motionless. To tap into this power a spellcaster must take extra time casting the spell, according to the following chart.

Normal Casting Time	Adjusted Casting Time
1 swift action (or less)	1 standard action
1 standard action	1 round
1 round	1 minute
1 minute	10 minutes

For spells with a casting time of multiple minutes, simply multiply the normal casting time by 10.

The spellcaster must also succeed at a Spellcraft check against DC equal to 15 + the spell's level. If this check is attempted and failed, the spell is cast normally (but retains its extra-long casting time). If the check is successful, the spellcaster can apply the effects of one of the following metamagic feats: Empower Spell, Enlarge Spell, or Extend Spell. Doing so does not increase the spell's effective caster level.

This benefit affects only spells cast by an intelligent creature. It does not affect spells cast from items, including wands and scrolls, nor does it affect spell-like or supernatural abilities. These energies have no effect on magic item creation.
