Still Spell

Still Spell [Metamagic] Benefit: A stilled spell requires no gestures, and thus can be cast without the -60% penalty that usually results from casting while grappled or ensnared, or the -20% penalty for casting while prone or underwater. Also, a stilled spell can be cast without one hand free. Finally, when casting a still spell, since gestures are not required a caster may retain her weapon parry bonus during the casting timeout.
