Reserve feats were introduced in Complete Mage. These feats are useable only by spellcasters, and they employ an unusual form of pre-requisite. Reserve feats draw upon the magic inherent in a caster's body and soul, utilizing (but not consuming) energy from available spells to augment the character's already prodigious magical talents.
Each reserve feat grants a supernatural ability useable at will (default as a standard action). If a saving throw is allowed, the DC is 10 + the level of the spell allowing the ability's use + the ability modifier used for the spell. The primary benefit can only be activated if the caster has a spell of an appropriate variety (of a particular school, subschool, or descriptor) available to cast. In addition, each feat provides a caster level boost to a certain category of spells at all times, regardless of the spellcaster has any spells left to cast.
A spellcaster can key two or more reserve feats off a single spell. For example, if a wizard had the Sickening Grasp and Winter's Blast feats, she could use both primary benefits of those feats if she had a single 3rd level or higher necromancy cold spell prepared and not yet cast. The secondary boosts likewise stack.
A wizard can take a reserve feat as her bonus feat for 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th level in place of a metamagic or item creation feat.
