Thus they're a cheap way to keep a metamagic spell on hand without wasting the high level slot or spending the extra for a scroll. For a wizard your choices are, say: a) Keep a 5th level slot tied up for an empowered fireball every day. b) Spend a grand on a scroll. c) Spend a couple hundred on some rare sulfur and just pull it out when you need it. Granted b) saves you a 3rd level spell slot as well, but if you're going to prepare a fireball anyway...
