My party wizard recently acquired a shield guardian amulet that gives him a shield guardian per monster manual. The shield guardian allows the wearer to cast a spell into him, and then the guardian can later cast it himself.
There are THREE levels of cheese here that I believe I can do RAW but am unsure at least as far as RAI:
Can I (a sorcerer) borrow the amulet and cast something into it that he could later command the guardain to cast?
-IMO obvious yes.
Can I cast a concentration spell into the amulet and since the guardian is the caster, I could also cast another concentration spell?
-IMO RAW definitely, RAI... little sketch, but it does say he casts it.
Can I cast a spell modified by metamagic into the guardian and then have him activate it with the metamagic effect still in it? (Essentially twinned haste on party members)
-IMO another RAW yes, but sketchy ("...casts the stored spell with any parameters set by the original caster") Is metamagic a parameter?
Anyone have any experience or input? Please don't just say, "as a DM I wouldn't let my players because I think they are trying to abuse it, etc."
