Just wondering how this works together.
Cooperative Metamagic means you ready an action to use Innate Spell on a , and Innate Spell means you give up spell slot of the same level as the spell to give someone 3/day Spell-like ability, permanently.

Cooperative Metamagic (Su): At 2nd level, an incantatrix gains the ability to apply any metamagic feat she possesses (except Silent Spell, Still Spell, or Quicken Spell) to a spell being cast by a willing allied spellcaster. The caster need not prepare the spell in metamagic form or in a higher-level spell slot; the incantatrix simply modifies the spell during the casting. Using this ability is a standard action that provokes an attack of opportunity, just like casting a spell, though the incantatrix can use the Concentration skill with this ability as though she were casting defensively. The incantatrix must ready an action to use cooperative metamagic when her ally begins casting and must be adjacent to the caster. The incantatrix must make a Spellcraft check (DC 18 + [3 × modified spell level]) to succeed. “Modified spell level” is the level of the spell slot that the spell would occupy if it were prepared with the metamagic feat applied. Any spell level increases from metamagic
feats that the caster applied also count toward the modified spell level. For example, if an incantatrix applies the Maximize Spell feat to an ally’s chain lightning spell, the modified spell level is 9th (6th for the spell, +1 for the Maximize Spell feat), and the DC is 18 + (3 × 9) = 45. If she applies the same feat to an ally’s silent chain lightning spell, the modified spell level i s 10th and the Spellcraft DC is 48. An incantatrix can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Int modifier.
So; 1 - Who pays this cost; the Caster, or the Incantatrix?
2 - This seems outstandingly abuseable from Temporary Clones (although possible on a Simulacrum/Ice Assassin, it seems a waste considering it's now permanent), provided that the Incantatrix pays the cost, such as Body Outside Body; while the Incantatrix would need to give up one spell slot already to take an Innate Spell, this would allow any Clone gained from Body Outside Body to cast Co-operative Metamagic Innate Spell to give up one of their own Spell Slots (which they do have, they just cannot cast spells - incidentally allowing Reserve Metamagic to function as well for shiggles) to permanently grant the BOB caster the Spell-like Ability, the cost of which is gone after Body Outside Body runs out of time.
