Into the Future [one-action] Feat 10Legacy Content
Archetype Concentrate Metamagic Source Dark Archive pg. 185Archetype Time MagePrerequisites Time Mage Dedication
You know your spell will be needed not now but in a few moments, so you cast your magic into the future. If your next action is to Cast a Spell that takes 1 or 2 actions to cast, the spell's effects occur 1 round later, at the beginning of your next turn, rather than immediately. Targets and choices about the spell must be determined when the spell is cast, and requirements, such as line of sight and line of effect, must be valid both when the spell is cast and when its effects occur. Consequences for the action of Casting the Spell itself, such as an
Attack of Opportunity reaction or ending a foe's fascinated condition by taking a
hostile action, aren't delayed.
Traits
Archetype: This feat belongs to an archetype.
Concentrate: An action with this trait requires a degree of mental concentration and discipline.
Metamagic: Actions with the metamagic trait, usually from metamagic feats, tweak the properties of your spells. You must use a metamagic action directly before Casting the Spell you want to alter. If you use any action (including free actions and reactions) other than Cast a Spell directly after, you waste the benefits of the metamagic action. Any additional effects added by a metamagic action are part of the spell’s effect, not of the metamagic action itself.
