This is for the D&D nerds out there or maybe @askrafiki can help me out. I'm playing a Sorcerer on D&D 5e and I picked up the Heightened spell Metamagic, which allows me to impose disadvantage on saving throws whn casting a spell with that Metamagic. However, I recently obtained a Shadowfell Shard, which reads:

When you use a Metamagic option on a spell while you are holding or wearing the shard, you can momentarily curse one creature targeted by the spell; choose one ability score, and until the end of your next turn, the creature has disadvantage on ability checks and saving throws that use that ability.

Now, Heightened spell feels obsolete as I can use any other Metamagic and still get the same effect. Or am I missing something here?
