Quicken Spell

Quicken Spell
Quicken Spell is a metamagic feat that requires the ability to cast fourth level spells. Spells cast with quicken spell are cast as a free action, but you may only cast one of them per round. A quickened spell is not vulnerable to arcane spell failure when wearing armour, and does not provoke an attack of opportunity nor could they be counterspelled. Quickenend spells are cast as spells four levels higher than normal. In theory, a spell that takes more than one round cannot be quickened, though NWN2 may not have such spells.

Automatic Quicken Spell

Automatic Quicken Spell was an epic metamagic feat introduced in NWN:HotU, it required the feat Quicken Spell, Spellcraft 30 and the ability to cast nineth level spells (either arcane or divine). Automatic Quicken spell allowed spells of 0-3rd levels to be cast as quickened, without using higher level spell slots. It could be taken multiple times in order to quicken spells all the way up to nineth level.
