I am putting together an oracle with the Life mystery.
At sixth level they get access to one of their mystery spells. In this case it is Restoration. But at sixth level they cannot cast 4th level spells.
How do I handle this? Is Restoration a 3rd level spell for a Life Oracle?
At 8th level they get breath of life-a 5th level spell, but Oracles don't gain access to 5th level spells until 10th level.
How should i handle this? what level are the spells?
thank you

pardon my amateur prodding... But doesn't an Oracle gain Restoration at 8th level, as part of the Life mystery?
That's what I'm seeing on the SRD anyways...
Are there any other examples you may find that would otherwise require alternate rules?
EDIT: In the Advanced Player's Guide pdf that I have... the Life mystery is the single mystery that grants spells every Odd level beyond the 3rd, instead of every Even number beyond the 2nd (besides 20)... I believe it was already FAQ'd and stated to be a typo, just in case That's what was throwing you off...

Life oracles get Restoration at 8th and Breath of Life at 10th. There is errata on this. If you have the PDF, you can download the most recent version.

Thank you all for your answers, and Callerak for laying out the spells
Bonus Spells:
detect undead (2nd),
lesser restoration (4th),
neutralize poison (6th),
restoration (8th),
breath of life (10th),
heal (12th),
greater restoration (14th),
mass heal (16th),
true resurrection (18th).
When at 6th level, i go to add Neutralize Poison to the oracle's list of Spells known, what level to i put restoration at.
Oracle Spells known 6th level
0) 7
1)4
2)2
3)1
Spells per day
1) 6
2) 5
3) 3
now i know the oracle gets spells like the Cure spells for free, and the spells for their Mystery for free. But when the sixth level life oracle has cast a Neutralize poison spell, which is a 4th level spell, Do I mark off that the caster has cast a 3rd , 2nd or 1st level spell? or do i pencil in a 4th level spell slot?
thanks
yeah i was pretty tired last night, and i must have mis read the restoration spell. I probably needed a restoration spell myself.

OK, it's like this. Your oracle bonus spells come in at the level of the highest level spell you can cast at the time. Detect undead is a 1st level spell for you, as you can only cast spells up to 1st level at the time. That makes lesser restoration 2nd, neutralize poison 3rd, restoration 4th, breath of life 5th, heal 6th, greater restoration 7th, mass heal 8th, and true resurrection 9th.
What people have to understand about bonus spells for classes such as the oracle is that just because they use the cleric spell list, it doesn't mean that their bonus spells follow the same progression. Sorcerers and oracles both gain bonus spells using the idea I just outlined. You can't lock yourself into thinking that just because you use a given spell list that none of your spells can vary from it. Neutralize poison is 4th for clerics, but what level is it for a druid? Bonus spell lists do once in a while bring spells in early. Oracles of life benefit from this more than other classes, so go with it!
