imho masking and centering are must haves for caster. And theire are so much good meta magic. The only thing my caster is doing is initiating. Who needs 1 or 2 dices more on spellcasting, im fine with what i got (6 + spezialisation + myb totem). But the possibility to mask your self is very important. In most cases, a metamagic gives new possibilitys, thats so much more important then get magic 7, or some spellcasting dices.
