远发变形是Reach spell么？记得某个地方看到过Reach Spell说明是Effectively变成30尺，而不是实际变成30尺。所以可以看作本体没变。
但是effectively的释义除了“有效果地、有效用地、起作用地”之外还有个“事实上、实际上”的意思……从这个角度讲喵认为reach spell实质上就是30尺射线了——毕竟“这个法术非常有效地变成了射线”实在不成话……
ef·fec·tive [ih-fek-tiv] Show IPA
adjective
1.
adequate to accomplish a purpose; producing the intended or expected result: effective teaching methods; effective steps toward peace.
根据这个解释，effective就是拥有同样的效果，而不是实际变成了那种法术
或者说，Reach Spell拥有和30尺Ray等效的作用，而不是实质变成了Ray。
具体解释在某Cleric Handbook也有描述。
The Trick: Spells can only be persisted when they have a range of personal or a fixed range. Reach spell gives a touch spell a range of 30', which is fixed. A cleric can prepare a reach spell and apply Divine Metamagic (Persist Spell) to make touch spells last 24 hours.
The Pro: A reach spell can be cast at a range of 30 feet. 30 feet is a fixed range, not variable like close, medium, long. Thus, it is a viable target for Persist. Since effects can be applied in the order most beneficial, reach will be applied before persist.
The Con: The wording of reach spell says that it "effectively" becomes a ray. It does not say it actually becomes a ray, nor does it say it actually changes the range. The range remains touch, but the metamagic allows it to be cast at range. Since the range is not fixed, it cannot be persisted.
