Contain Area of Effect
(Alteration, Metamagic)

Range:  0
Components:  V, S, M
Duration:  Special
Casting Time:  3 rounds
Area of Effect:  Creature touched
Saving Throw:  None

This spell gives the creature touched one spell level per caster level with which spells may be cast. The freely chosen spells are then changed in their aspects so that stay within a certain area of effect the caster specifies at the casting of these spells. This prevents the spells from expanding in their effect into undesired areas as it so often happens with these unruly fireball spells.
This spell may be layered up to a maximum of 2 spell levels per caster level. As it works by touch it can be given to anyone who casts spells or uses items which duplicate spell effects (or spell-like effects). These creatures can use up the spell levels at their leisure: This spell lasts until all spell levels have been used up.
The material component is a small silver box encircled with a paper strip inlaid with a strip of hammered platinum which costs no less than 500 gp (the whole arrangement).
