Where is that feat

[Letums Gate]

So I have been looking through all of my books and for some reason I cant find one metamagic and it is driving me crazy so maybe you guys can help

Where is war widen from?

[Fenryr]

Widen spell? Sudden Widen? I don't recall nothing from "War Widen".

[Blisstake]

Warmages get Sudden Widen, if that's what you were thinking...

[dextercorvia]

Wizard's feat index (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/lists/feats&tablefilter=war%20widen) says no.

[Letums Gate]

No it is neither sudden widen or normal widen the feat had an increase of one and required a full one minute casting time but times every aspect of the spell such as range duration and area by ten if I remember correctly

[Infernalbargain]

That sounds like heroes of battle.

It sounds familiar, but I couldn't find it in there.

[Infernalbargain]

It's definitely from one of the books that went over mass combat if it's anywhere.

[Letums Gate]

Thank you for the help this is just frustrating because in an upcoming game we will be going to war and I am the only caster so I thought I would put on a show

[Dusk Eclipse]

Actually I think that is from Dragon Magazine not a WotC book; but IIRC they were a series of spell whose normal values accounted for mass combat.

Dragon 309 has the War Magic Study feat which unlocks a bunch of mass effect spells.

They don't make you ride an elevator to learn them, do they?

That is probably what I meant, I'll have to check it

Mass Effect is a video game. One of the tricks it uses to mask loading times is to spend an inordinate amount of time watching your characters fidgeting in a elevator as they travel between levels.

It's referencing the game Mass Effect, where loading screens are hidden by interminable elevator rides.

A brief explanation (Minor language warning). (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2007/11/16/)


Then from our friends at TVTropes:


The elevators in Mass Effect, which set the records for being the slowest elevators in any game, ever.

*"Oh, I have to go to the cargo bay to talk to people. Just let me in the elevator, then get a cup of coffee, then go to the bathroom, and maybe then, I'll have gone down ten feet." This is not an example of hyperbole.

*Particularly bad in that the elevator is actually a set time: It's ridiculously long because it just takes as long as you could imagine possibly loading in the circumstances. As a result, if the loading time is reduced (by using the 360's new Install feature), it still takes just as long.

*Though not as long, the "decontamination" airlock sequence on the Normandy does serve as a loading screen in disguise.

[dextercorvia]

Thanks for the explanations, and my condolences to anyone playing that game.

[Amphetryon]

The Warmage of Cormyr (not the CArc Warmage) gets a Widen Spell ability.

[Eldan]

Not a feat, but were you perhaps thinking of a prestige class ability? I think the War Weaver may have something like that.
