Archetype Manipulate Metamagic 
Source Fists of the Ruby Phoenix Hardcover pg. 223, Pathfinder #167: Ready? Fight! pg. 77
Archetype Sixth Pillar
Prerequisites Sixth Pillar Dedication
Trigger You begin to Cast a Spell that requires a spell attack roll.
You can redirect a spell's power through you to deliver it within striking distance. If your next action is to Cast a Spell with 1 or more targets and a range farther than touch, you change the range to touch. You gain a +2 circumstance bonus to the attack. This only allows you to touch a single target with the spell, even if the spell originally affected more than 1 target. As long as your spell attack is successful, the target is knocked prone in addition to the spell's normal effects.

Traits

Archetype:

This feat belongs to an archetype.

Manipulate:

You must physically manipulate an item or make gestures to use an action with this trait. Creatures without a suitable appendage can’t perform actions with this trait. Manipulate actions often trigger reactions.

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.
