The Shaman archetype Spirit Warden has a supernatural ability called Restless Magic. It seems contradictory and I was wondering if others agree that there's a wording problem, or if someone thinks they have a resolution:
It says: "The spirit warden adds the following spells to the list of spells she can cast using spirit magic:".
Then it gives a list of spells.
Then it says: "This ability replaces the spirit magic spells gained from the shaman’s spirit."
So, are the spells on the list added to the spells you would get, or do the spells on the list replace the spells you would get? Is this a mistake/typo, a badly worded ability that slipped through editing, something else?
If it does replace the spells gained from the shaman's spirit, what does that mean? You get spells from your Spirit and your Wandering Spirit. Do you just lose the spells from your Spirit, but not those from your wandering spirit, or do you lose both sets of spells?
My personal guess is that it replaces the spells you would normally get from your Spirit, but not your Wandering Spirit, otherwise you would get something for nothing, which doesn't seem right. On the other hand, the text specifically says spirit, not "spirits", so I don't think you lose the spells from your wandering spirit. Also, losing both would be disproportionate, losing 2 spells for 1, which also doesn't seem right. Finally, this interpretation seems to fit the actual language the best insofar if correct, then the text is correct (thus, the editors did not miss anything).
But I thought it would be good to see what others think, or maybe the Devs or the guy who originally designed the Slayer might chime in (if we're lucky!).
