Alright, the Oracle class states...
"An oracle casts divine spells drawn from the cleric spell lists."
Now, we see from time to time, there are spells that say at the top of the spell "Cleric X" and do not say "Cleric/Oracle X", are these spells prohibited from oracles, or were they just left out because of sloppy editing? And even if they were left out on purpose, it states in the Oracle Class that they cast spells from the cleric spell lists, meaning any spell a cleric can cast, an oracle can as well, yes? Further confusing things. generally spells that are only usable by one of the two dual spell lists (Sorcerer/Wizard and Cleric/Oracle) specifically point out in big bold letters that "only wizards may cast this spell" or "ORACLE ONLY", and the like.
I'm just double checking. From what I can tell, an Oracle can learn and cast any spell that is on any cleric spell list (barring domains of course). So spells like sure casting and burst of radiance which only list 'cleric 1' and 'cleric 2', but no mention of oracles, are not prohibited.

Remember, Oracle was released a while after the CRB, so books published before the APG would naturally not mention the Oracle. Further to that, there probably are a few spells that missed them out accidentally. As you mentioned, Cleric/Oracle only spells specifically mention that.

Rock on. I just wanted to make sure I did not miss some kind of errata or other thing that changes that catch all statement "An oracle casts divine spells drwan from the cleric spell lists". Thanks for verifying.

Are wrote:Actually Oracles get a slightly wider selection as they are not restricted from casting opposite alugnemnt spells.Not even spells in the APG say "cleric / oracle", as oracles can cast all the spells clerics can cast (apart from any spells that may say "cleric (only)" or "oracle (only)".
Not to mention that there are some oracle only spells tied to their curses.
