Combined Spell class feature of Mystic Theurge & Prohibited Schools

If my druid/wizard/mystic theurge (with evocation as a prohibited school) prepares lightning bolt in his druid spell slots, does it take a single spell slot or two? I figure it's a good way to get around the prohibited school limitation (albeit at +1 spell level) since the ability specifically says "components of these spells do not change, but they otherwise follow the rules for the spellcasting class used to cast the spell." Since I am using the druid class to cast the spell, the prohibited school rules don't apply. Still, I wanted to get a second opinion.

I think that if your character prepared a 3rd level arcane ightening bolt spell in a 4th level druid spell slot, it would onlty take up one spell slot.

I have a 3rd level cleric of Pharasma, 3rd level wizard ( necromancer) 3rd level mystic theurge.

His prohibited spells are conjouration and tranmutaiton. By the way that was a big mistake, but more on that later.

I use monster summoning 1 and monster summoning two in my cleric spell slots, and they don’t take up two spell slots. I realize that is because these are devine spells not arcane ones. I don’t see why you cant do what you are trying to do.

Not that this is a good arugement, but if they didn’t allow you to do that, the classes major perk would be useless.

Am I going to take an arcane spell, which takes up two slots to memorize, because it is a spell from a prohibites school. And then stick it in a higher spell slot, only to also have to take up two spell slots? No. no player would use the class feature if it was written that way.
