Hi folks,
I am currently building a cleric and a question rose: can you use Preferred spell for a domain spell and than use regular slots to cast it spontaneously?
Each domain grants a number of domain powers, dependent upon the level of the cleric, as well as a number of bonus spells. A cleric gains one domain spell slot for each level of cleric spell she can cast, from 1st on up. Each day, a cleric can prepare one of the spells from her two domains in that slot. If a domain spell is not on the cleric spell list, a cleric can prepare it only in her domain spell slot. Domain spells cannot be used to cast spells spontaneously.
Benefit: Choose one spell which you have the ability to cast. You can cast that spell spontaneously by sacrificing a prepared spell or spell slot of equal or higher level. You can apply any metamagic feats you possess to this spell when you cast it. This increases the minimum level of the prepared spell or spell slot you must sacrifice in order to cast it but does not affect the casting time.
From my perspective, preferred spell let's you sacrifice any spell slot. E.g. a mystic theurge could use a wizard spell slot to cast a preferred divine spell.
Domain spells only say they cannot be PREPARED in a regular spellslot. From my perspective, using preferred spell to cast a domain spell spontaneously is perfectly valid. Thoughts?
