Merciful Spell

Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Advanced Player's Guide

Your damaging spells subdue rather than kill.

Feat Type(s)

Metamagic

Benefit

You can alter spells that inflict damage to inflict nonlethal damage instead. Spells that inflict damage of a particular type (such as fire) inflict nonlethal damage of that same type.

A merciful spell does not use up a higher-level spell slot than the spell’s actual level.
