Is Versatile Spellcaster limited to 1 spell level upgrade or could I, say, burn 4 level 1 spells for a level 3 spell. Though the rules don't seem to me like you could, the nature of the feat (replicating a spell point system) suggests yes.

03-05-08, 06:46 PM The feat says exactly what you can do with it, something to the effect of:
"You can expend two spell slots of the same level to cast a spell one level higher."
So no, what you are suggesting is not RAW-legal, as the feat doesn't say you can do that.

You could create a feat called Improved Versatile Spellcaster that allows you to do what you are suggesting in the OP.

The feat (as written) does only one thing.

It allows you to cast one spell of level N+1 while expending two level N spell slots in a spontaneous caster class so long as you can cast level N+1 or higher spells.
