03-07-07, 04:20 PM Look at the Energy Subsititution and Energy Admixture meta-magic feats from Complete Arcane I've found myself wondering:
Can I take ES [Fire] and EA [Fire] and add the fire from EA to say, a Fireball spell? Basically, can make a Fireball a [Fire, Fire] spell using EA and still get the extra damage from EA?

03-07-07, 06:04 PM If you're just looking to double the damage, you may want to consider the Twin Spell Metamagic Feat.(Comp. Arc.)

TS has the same spell slot increase from the feat (+4) and doubles damage from multiple spell types rather than just Energy type spells, as EA is limited to. :cool:
