#1 Kyoshibu Oct 29, 2014 15:00:03	Greetings!   Just checking if my interpretation is correct.   Twinned Spell (and all other metamagic options from the sorcerer list) can only be used ONCE for that cast. So, for instance, with the witch bolt spell, a sorcerer could only spend one point (as a lv1 spell) to get an extra bolt. He can not, however, expend 2 or more in order to get 2 or more bolts.   Is this right? its seens fairly obvious i know, as RAW does not state a sorcerer could do so. Also, i assume the same is true for all metamagic? (about spending points only once)

So you would only get the effect of one Twinned Spell, even if you try to apply it more than once.   Obviously, the DM has the final say, so ask before you try anything like that.
