Buy a Rod of Excellent Magic. Take the Eschew Materials feat. Cast Teleport through Time. The flower material component has no listed cost...

This is what I mean by rules abuse. Using Incantatrix and Easy Metamagic and such to reduce metamagic cost so you can cast a Twin Split Empowered Orb of Fire is one thing. Using Eschew Materials to replace an object that's priceless, rather than worthless...

Mreh? Go to the demiplane of flowers.

Pick one.

Go back in time.

Problem solved.


It's not 'abuse' if the part that's being 'abused' is just for convenience's sake. It doesn't even matter particularly.

Most of what is called "rules abuse" is generally an exercise in theory, rather than something that is actually expected to be used. It's pretty fun, finding these loopholes...

Well, in an infinite planes, the person who figures out how to use the rules the best is the one who is going to create an ever-expanding clone empire.

And that's the basis under which I run my games.
