Elven Spellbinder & Forbidden School Spells

[Sentack]

Here's something I couldn't find anything specific on the forums so I figure I would ask to see if someone knew one way or another about this little question.

In, Advanced Races Guide, an Elven Archtype for Wizards is the Spellbinder. That class can replace one spell it has memorized with one it has bonded. Specialist wizards have the limitation that if they attempt to memorize a spell that is in one of their forbidden schools, then the caster must spend two spell slots instead of the normal one.

So you can see where I'm getting at. Could my Elf Spellbinder Wizard bind a forbidden school spell, then swap it out (as a full-round action) with a spell he has memorized but is not from his forbidden school. Say an Enchanter Specialist with Necromancy forbidden, wanted to cast Ray of Enfeeblement without penalty. So they pick it as a bound spell, memorize Magic Missile, and then swapped it.

So in other words, it allows the bound spell (And only the bound spell) to get around the forbidden school slot cost.

I don't see why you couldn't. Though, thematically it doesn't make sense so don't be surprised if a GM says no.

If I were the GM, I'd not let this fly, or at least make it spend two spell slots.

Spellbinder is already powerful enough as it is. Possibly the most powerful class/archetype in the game.

Yeah, I don't even recall if spell levels are maintained with the binder. Casting wish from a 1st level spell slot would be broken.

I figure this is not intended to work but does by the written rules. Over all, I think requiring the slots cost to be equal wouldn't be a huge burden and would work for everyone.

I'm pretty sure spell slots are maintained. You must spend a level 9 prepared spell to replace it with your bound wish spell. So that aspect is just fine. Right now, it's just the interaction with bound spell and specialization that is odd.
