At 2nd level and every four levels thereafter, a magician can add one spell to his spells known from the spell list of any arcane spellcasting class. The spell must be of a level he can cast.

What's the point of being able to add them to your spells known without adding them to your class list?

"...unless they are added by a class feature of that same class."

Expanded Repertoire is a magician bard class feature. Seems like it still works to me.


Oh right...

Wonder if there is any prestige class or archetype out there that lets you get Improved Eldritch Heritage as a bonus feat on a casting class.

Actually, here's are a new question:

The FAQ says that things that add to your spells known can only be cast if they are on your spell list or "added by a class feature of that same class". As "spells" are a class feature (typically the first one listed), does this mean that an Oracle who gains use of Improved Eldritch Heritage through casting Paragon Surge (part of her "Spells" class feature) may cast her new spells known as oracle spells?

No, because the "spells" class feature is not what gives her the additional spells - Paragon Surge is, and PS is not itself a class feature.

In other words, The Oracle's class feature is "spells" - not "Paragon Surge." (And even if "Paragon Surge" was a class feature, that doesn't give you any spells either - The IEH you get with it does that.)
