I was attempting to prepare a 3rd level spell in a 4th level slot. It wouldn't let me do that (which I can understand why that hasn't been implemented yet, after searching and finding a post in the 5.2 bug report threat).
My workaround was to create a custom metamagic ability "Prepared Higher". Level Adjustment 1, User chooses level adjustment selected. When I applied it, it worked.
Except that the DC was listed on my character's Spells and Wizard tab as if it were a 4th level spell. I tested with some other metamagics (ignoring the fact that I didn't have those feats) to find that they did the same thing.
So either this is a bug (metamagic's other than Heighten Spell are supposed to not improve the spell's level for DC purposes) or I'm doing something stupid that I can't figure out; I wouldn't put that past myself.
