This can't be how it works, but all the information I can find points toward this being possible...
If I reach level 1 as a spell caster and I have an intelligence of 20, then I get two new spells of any level that I can cast, as it says here:
"Each time a character attains a new wizard level, he gains two spells of his choice to add to his spellbook. The two free spells must be of spell levels he can cast."
So technically with an intelligence of 20 I can learn a level 9 spell. The trouble, then, is how do I gain a spell slot to cast the spell? The answer is apparently specializing in an arcane school... It says here:
"specialist wizards receive an additional spell slot of each spell level he can cast, from 1st on up."
This would mean that I have at least 1 spell slot for every spell level all the way up to 9... Therefore, I can actually cast my level 9 spell one time per day at caster level 1... Is it just me, or does this make no sense? If this is really how it works, then it is fine with me, but I have a hard time believing it. Nevertheless, I've been all over the books and the internet, and nothing contradicts it so far.
Please advise! Thank you.
