Prerequisite

Spell-like ability caster level 8th,

Choose one of your spell-like abilities, subject to the restrictions described below. You can use that ability as a quickened spell-like ability three times per day (or less, if the ability is normally usable only once or twice per day).

Using a quickened spell-like ability is a free action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. You can perform another action--including the use of another spell-like ability--in the same round that you use a quickened spelllike ability. You may use only one quickened spell-like ability per round. You can only select a spell-like ability duplicating a spell with a level less than or equal to one-half your caster level (round down), -4. See the table below. For example, a creature that uses its spell-like abilities as a 15th-level caster can only quicken spell-like abilities duplicating spells of 3rd level or lower. In addition, a spell-like ability that duplicates a spell with a casting time greater than 1 full round cannot be quickened.

This feat can be taken multiple times. Each time it is taken, you can apply it to another one of your spell-like abilities.

Normally the use of a spell-like ability requires a standard action and provokes an attack of opportunity unless noted otherwise.
