A few hours? Though your idea to me has some very nice merit, I would have
to know what they have to do in order to change powers inside of a few

That much I really do like the idea of, but IMHO, this may not be the best

I think I got lost in the "2 Metamagical" abilities area...could you describe
this a bit more, personal email if you like would be fine, but in the open
