These smite powers must be appropriate for your level and don't count towards your number of prepared spells.

• Staggering Smite: Now deals 4d8 psychic damage, increasing by 1d8 for each spell slot above 4th-level to a maximum of 5d8.

You can use Arcane Rebuke even if you have already used a different Metamagic option during the casting of the spell.

Condensed Spell

You spend a number of sorcery points equal to half the spell level rounded up (minimum 1).

You can cast a condensed spell against a single creature that would have been effected by the spells normal range

Displacement

After the spell has been cast and any damage or effects applied, you swap places with the target of this spell via teleport. If the target is unwilling, they must make a charisma saving throw against your DC to resist this effect. If the distance between you and the target is 30 feet the cost is 1 sorcery point.

• If the spell's range is a line, you can change it to a cone of half range.
• If the spell's range is a cone, you can change it to a 5-foot-wide line with double range.

You can use Shape Spell even if you have already used a different Metamagic option during the casting of the spell.

Shared Spell

You cast a spell and expend some power to transfer it onto another.

When you cast a spell with the target of self that does not have an additional range, you can spend sorcery points equal to the spell level (1 sorcery point if the spell is a cantrip) to have the target of the spell instead be a willing creature you touch within 5 feet of you.

If the spell requires concentration you must still maintain concentration as if it was cast on yourself.
