Do Wordcaster Oracles keep their "Cure / Inflict Spells?"


Rules Questions


Subject

Oracles say "In addition to the spells gained by oracles as they gain levels, each oracle also adds all of either the cure spells or the inflict spells to her list of spells known (cure spells include all spells with “cure” in the name, inflict spells include all spells with “inflict” in the name). These spells are added as soon as the oracle is capable of casting them. This choice is made when the oracle gains her first level and cannot be changed."

While the words of power class specific rules only mentions mysteries rather than the cure/inflict spells: "Oracles and Sorcerers: Oracle and sorcerer wordcasters gain bonus spells from their mysteries or bloodlines respectively, just like their spellcasting counterparts, and can cast these spells in addition to their wordspells by using up the appropriate spell slots. They can exchange effect words for new effect words according to their normal progression, but may not exchange their mystery or bloodline bonus spells."


I would rule yes. It's a bit late for me so I'm not researching/parsing too carefully, but it makes sense. I would definitely allow it, as I feel that using Words of Power actually weakens a caster, but gives more flavor and flexibility. (I've only played a Magus Wordcaster, so YMMV)


They wouldn't get the spells as they are listed, but the cure and wound spells from the words list I would imagine.

Yeah, that's how I would handle it. They would get the words.
