All right when it comes to using the book with PCs could you change the feats to "Spell Feats" like when it say corrupt spell-like ability could you change it to corrupt spell since the benefit is the same.

There's already a feat named Corrupt Spell. It probably does what you want it to. Check Libris Mortis, I believe.

Sorry i didn't mean that exactly just feats of the same nature like Quicken or Empower Spell-Like Ability that aren't metamagic but in the general sub type

There should be a Spell-Like and Spell-version of both; the benefit is the same, yes, but the cost is different; Spell-feats have a level cost while Spell-Like feats require you to effectively be able to legally use the ability at a lower CL, and have a daily limit.

Direct conversion doesn't really work, but yeah, all "X Spell-Like" and "X Spell" feats could be converted to the other system with proper cost adjustments (although Persist Spell-Like Ability sounds a tad scary).

I'm not sure, but I think the Sudden metamagic feats might be what you want. It's stuff like Sudden Quicken, Sudden Empower, etc., which function like the normal metamagic feats but, like Quicken/Empower Spell-Like Ability, they can only be used a few times per day. I think most of them are in Complete Arcane.

I see but the BoVD doesn't have equivalents but hypothetically if the costs were equal then it would make sense. That makes sense thanks
