Automatic Quicken Spell
(  Epic Level Handbook, p. 50)

Benefit
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">You may cast all 0-, 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd-level spells as quickened spells without using higher-level spell slots. The normal limit to the number of quickened spells you may cast per round applies. Spells with a casting time of more than 1 full round can't be quickened.

Special
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">You can gain this feat multiple times. Each time you take the feat, the spells of your next three lowest spell levels can now be quickened with no adjustment to their spell slots. Thus, a wizard who took this feat twice could quicken his 0- through 6th-level spells with no adjustment to their spell slots. This feat doesn't increase the casting time for those spells that normally become full-round actions when cast in metamagic form (including bard spells, sorcerer spells, and spontaneously cast spells, such as a good cleric's cure spells)

Automatic Silent Spell
(  Epic Level Handbook, p. 51)

[ Epic ]

Special
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:20px;line-height:1.7em;text-align:justify;">You can gain this feat multiple times. Each time you take the feat, the spells of your next three lowest spell levels can now be silenced with no adjustment to their spell slots. Thus, a wizard who took this feat twice could cast his 0- through 6th-level spells as silent spells with no adjustment to their spell slots. This feat doesn't increase the casting time for those spells that normally become full-round actions when cast in metamagic form (including sorcerer spells and spontaneously cast spells, such as a good cleric's cure spells). However, since bard spells can't be enhanced with the Silent Spell feat, they can't be affected by this feat either

Each time you take the feat, the spells of your next three lowest spell levels can now be stilled with no adjustment to their spell slots. Thus, a wizard who took this feat twice could still his 0- through 6th-level spells with no adjustment to their spell slots. This feat doesn't increase the casting time for those spells that normally become full-round actions when cast in metamagic form (including bard spells, sorcerer spells, and spontaneously cast spells, such as a good cleric's cure spells).

This feat has no effect on spells that don't specifically deal a number of dice of damage equal to your level or half your level, even if the spell's effect is largely dictated by your level. Thus, it has no effect on magic missile (even though your level indicates how many missiles you fire),Melf's acid arrow (even though your level indicates how many rounds the acid deals damage), or produce flame (even though you add your level to the base 1d4 damage dealt).
