Extend metamagic not working on all spells

[Cearina]

I have noticed that protection from elements is not being extended since the patch. I have spoke with a gm, Entered a trouble ticket, and searched the forums to no avail.

If it has been mentioned somewhere my google-fu has failed me. Anyone seen an ofical response or know a work around to get it to go?

...why would you want it to be extended? It seems like this is a case of the devs doing us a favor by preventing metamagics from applying where they would be unwanted (see: maximize/empower don't increase the damage from FoD).

I believe it is a bug for protection from elemeents but Stryk is right it is generally considered a good one as there are few places where extending protection is likely to be helpful (ie you will usually use it up before it expires, at least for the elements you are likely to encounter in a given quest).

I bug reported that a couple weeks ago. You can extend your regular protection from energy spell, so you should be able to extend your protection from elements spell if you want to.

This is a double bug though because, if you have extend activated, you are charged 10 spell points like you would if it were extended but you don't get an extended spell. In other words, you pay 10 spell points for an extended spell but your spell isn't extended.

Heck, I wish that this "bug" was on a few spells..

Why we do not have the option of which spells are extended and which spells are not extended without having to constantly toggle is beyond me.

A nice check box next to the spells dictating which metas you want to use on which spells would be nice.

the spell does not extend but does use the extra sp if you have extend turned on.

Yeah I see that now. Yep...bad, annoying bug rather than beficial.

IIRC, at one time it was doing this for chill touch as well. I haven't used it in quite some time though. Max and empower still affect it though and only the devs know why.

Ok, now I'm mad bug reporting when I get home.
