    Does anyone know if it is possible to add metamagic effects to spells or spell-like effects cast by NPCs, monsters, or magic items? AFAIK there are no current examples of this in the game.

    If it isn't possible, would it be able to 'mimic' the effects by creating a new spell with the effects 'built in'? I'm guessing the only problem is the possibly limited number of spell numbers available.

    Absolutely: Liv did a lot of that with scrolls and such.

    Check the skeleton priest's .py file, he imports a 'death knell' scroll as needed and uses it to mimic the spell. There are other examples.
