d20: Feats: Practiced Metamagic

The "Practiced" set of metamagic feats are improved versions of metamagic feats that allow spontaneous casters to make use of the base metamagic feat without the additional time penalty (PHB 78).

Each metamagic feat has its own Practiced version, and any non-Practiced metamagic that is added to a spell takes the sorceror right back to the old issue.

It is worth noting that the "Practiced Quickened Spell" feat is potentially abusive, though we feel that the 5 spell-level addition from Quickened Spell is sufficiently prohibitive that allowing a sorceror to effectively Quicken many of his lower-level spells is not unbalancing.
