The "Arcane" template (Mythic Adventures, page 224) grants the "Simple Arcane Spellcasting" feature.
This feature has no classification (Ex, Sp or Su)
the feature reads:
Simple Arcane Spellcasting, Mythic Adventures, page 228 wrote:
The creature gains the ability to cast spells from the sorcerer/wizard spell list. Select a number of spells with total spell levels equal to twice the creature's CR. No spell for this ability should have a higher level than 1 + 1/2 the creatures CR. A 0-level spells counts as 1/2 spell level toward this total. the creature can cast each of these spells once per day. Its caster level is equal to its Hit Dice. It uses the higher of its Intelligence or Charisma modifiers to determine its spell DC.
This raises some questions.
1. Are these actual spells or Spell-like/Supernatural abilities.2. Do they require components/materials/foci
3. Are they subject to Arcane Spell Failure
4. Do they require an ability score of 10 + spell level
4a. Can such spells be used by a creature with a low ability score (say, an ooze)
5. If based on Intelligence, do they take up spell book pages.
6. Can they be identified/countered
Personally, I'm leaning towards ruling them as SLAs. The template has no requirements and I would like it to represent a creature infused/empowered with arcane energy, rather than a creature studying/developing arcane energy.
Any thoughts?
