Hmmm, if you read that sentence well you can see:

"A hexcrafter magus adds the following spells to his magus spell list: bestow curse, major curse, and all other spells of 6th level or lower that have the curse descriptor."

That just means that he can cast these spells if he chooses to learn them. So you get access to those spells as soon as you decide to learn them. By learning them on a scroll or on a spellbook, or with one of the bonus spell you learn at each level.

Well, this is why I raised the question, because the magus class text reads: "A magus begins play with a spellbook containing all 0-level magus spells . . ." and then the hexcrafter "adds the following spells to his magus spell list: bestow curse, major curse, and all other spells of 6th level or lower that have the curse descriptor," then it's seem one interpretation is yours and the other is that since the hexcrafter adds all those spells to the magus list, then a 1st level hexcrafter would have Brand in their spellbook. It wasn't a lack of careful reading.

And Massive P, the descriptors were added in Ultimate Magic I believe. The idea for this comes from STR Ranger's Hexcrafter guide.

Building a Hexcrafter Magus for PFS. One element of the hexcrafter is the following:
"A hexcrafter magus adds the following spells to his magus spell list: bestow curse, major curse, and all other spells of 6th level or lower that have the curse descriptor."

My questions is, when do those become available. At level 1, or at level 4 when the hexcrafter archetype "kicks in"? I ask because of the Brand cantrip (which is a curse), which seems like a less cheesy Arcane Mark, since it actually does do damage. Would like to take it at level 1. Legal?
