Short winded:
Metamagic Effect from Incantatrix + Persist Spell + Dragon Breath + Animate Breath = lots and lots of elementals all day?
Long winded:
Consider the spells Dragon Breath (Spell Compendium 74), which gives the caster a piddly damage breath weapon for rounds/level that you can only use every 1d4 rounds as a fourth level spell - normally, I'd pass. Then consider Animate Breath (Spell Compendium 11), which in this context takes your breath weapon and turns it into a summoned huge elemental. Again, using a seventh level spell and a fourth level spell to eventually get out some elementals in combat doesn't seem all that powerful.
But like many benign personal range arcane spells, Incantatrix (PGtF 61) changes circumstances. Consider using Metamagic Effect to persist both of these spells. Can you then churn out elementals every 1d4 rounds that will last all day? I understand that a large number of elementals is the least of a DM's concerns if he allows incantatrix. I just want to know if this works, or if I'm missing something obvious.
Thanks, playground.
