Reach Spell

(Complete Divine, page 84, DnD 3.5)

[Metamagic]

You can cast touch spells without touching the spell recipient.

Benefit

You may cast a spell that normally has a range of touch at any distance up to 30 feet. The spell effectively becomes a ray, so you must succeed on a ranged touch attack to bestow the spell upon the recipient. A reach spell uses up a spell slot two levels higher than the spell's actual level.
