Spell Mastery and Magus


Rules Questions


1 person marked this as FAQ candidate.

I was wondering if Spell Mastery Feat could be used with a Magus as he is wizard fighter (hybrid class) that has to relay on a Spell Book to prepare his spells. I know the feat is for a wizards only but shouldnt it now be open to the Magus?

He doesn't need it due to Knowledge Pool. Using Knowledge Pool you can prepare spells not in your spellbook. That means you can scribe said prepared spells into your new spellbook.

Spell Mastery - "Prerequisite: 1st-level wizard"

If you have a level of wizard, you can take the feat. It doesn't specify wizard spells, so you could use it to prepare magus spells without your book.

(I think it would be a reasonable house rule to have a version of the feat for Magus, not wizard.)

Or just house rule the prerequisite of the feat to "ability to prepare arcane spells" and be done with it.


Yep leo has the the way i would do it then witches could use it and i would even allow an alchemist to do it.

Agreed, I think the RAI was clearly for non-spontaneous arcane casters.

Unless I am mistaken Knowledge Pool is a very neat ability for a spellcaster with a spellbook.

Coupled with this:

Replacing and Copying Spellbooks wrote:


A wizard can use the procedure for learning a spell to reconstruct a lost spellbook. If he already has a particular spell prepared, he can write it directly into a new book at the same cost required to write a spell into a spellbook. The process wipes the prepared spell from his mind, just as casting it would. If he does not have the spell prepared, he can prepare it from a borrowed spellbook and then write it into a new book.

He can prepare every spell that is in his list and he has the level to cast and then copy it in his spell book.

No need to pay another spellcaster for the privilege of copying a new spell. It exist? He can get it.

The GM could ask for a spellcraft check for him to know about the spell existence and another to comprehend the spell before writing it down, but nothing more rule wise.


Wow.
That's actually very cool. It removes the Achilles Heel of prep casters.


I would not allow it for all arcane casters that prepare spells. Just arcane casters that prepare spells specifically from a spellbook.

I am curious if there has been an official ruling on this.

I'll admit, I never thought about doing that before. This idea pleases me >:)
