: '''Metamagic Uses Per Round:'''  
: A spellcaster may not use the same metamagic feat more than once per round. If the spellcaster is able to cast multiple spells per round, these additional spells must use different metamagic feats (if any) than the first spell used. A spellcaster cannot cast, for example, two quickened spells, but could cast a quickened and a maximized. This rule also applies to metamagic rods, even if multiple rods of the same type are owned.

: '''Metamagic Rods:'''
: '''Metamagic Wands:'''
: Metamagic rods allow a caster to apply a specific metamagic feat that they know to a spell as they cast it, without increasing the spell's spell level (and/or spell slot) when it is cast.  Instead, using a metamagic rod increases the casting time of the spell.  Metamagic rods can only be applied to spells which have a casting time of 1 [[standard action]], and by doing so, the spell's casting time is increased to a [[full-round action]].  The exception to this is a Metamagic Rod of Quicken, which changes the spell's standard action casting time down to a '''[[move action]]'''.  Note that this is a deviation from the [[Quicken Spell (Feat)|Quicken Spell]] feat, which lowers a spell's casting time to a swift action; the metamagic rod is not as good as the feat.
