This is a lot of levels to move a spell up. Yes, eventually you can have a few quickened magic missiles memorized, but you are giving up 5th level spells to have them. It all evens out.
Nah mate, I'm talking of the quicken exploit and it *IS* a recognised exploit that Bioware have acknowledged. It does not adhere to the 3E rules at all - spells are cast successively and at the fastest rate possible...I won't explain it in depth here as I have a hard enough time as it is trying to curtail it's use online. Alot of mages who are new to the game are actually taught this by friends and take it as a natural and legal use of the rules. From what I've heard they're fixing it though either in this patch or the next...I hope so anyways.
