Sounds good. Looking at the "Feats of..." books (which I like), I'm intrigued by the various "X Mage" feats (Battle Mage, Trickster Mage, etc.), but I'm not sure I understand the mechanics.

Are the spells that the character gains intended to be added to their spell list for general preparation and casting? Or are they only available in the specific circumstance described in the feat? Or are they intended to be available for "swapping out" with another spell like a cleric can swap out cure/inflict spells? Or something else?

Kind of off topic, but any idea what SGG book will be out this week?

Depends on what kind of caster you are. If you're a wizard or cleric, they become part of your list for general prep and casting. If you're a bard or sorcerer, you don't automatically know the spells you select from this list. However, you may learn three of these selected spells and count them as only one spell slot toward your maximum spells known. This slot must be of the highest level spell being learned.

Make sense?

Sure, and that makes the feats attractive, especially to casters that would not normally have those particular spells. But then what's the point with the "mark" in each feat description?

Scarab Sages

To actually cast the spell, whether prepped or a spell known, you must meet the "mark" qualifications. thus these spells are only available if you are acting like the mage type described.

It's an option for a broader range of spells available, to any spellcasting class, but you can't always cast them.

OK, that's what I suspected. Thanks for the clarification.
