Ascetic Spell

ASCETIC SPELL [Metamagic]
Prerequisite: Ability to cast spells.

Benefit: An ascetic spell can be cast with no material components. Spells without material components are not affected. Unlike normal metamagic spells, an ascetic spell does not use up higher spell slots but instead allows the caster to sacrifice XP in place of the gold cost of material components. Even when using this feat a caster cannot expend more XP than they need to remain at their current level.
