You can cast spells in a fraction of the normal time.

Prerequisites: None

Benefit: Casting a quickened spell is a swift action. You can perform another action, even casting another spell, in the same round as you cast a quickened spell. A spell whose casting time is more than 1 round or 1 full-round action cannot be quickened.

A quickened spell uses up a spell slot four levels higher than the spell’s actual level.

Special: Even spontan casters can cast a spells quickened even if they normally increase the cast time when using metamagic.
