Spirit Whisperer Wizard and Learning Spells


Rules Questions

Silver Crusade

A player of mine wants to play a Spirit Whisperer Wizard archetype. From reading the description of this archetype, it seems to me that such a wizard would be incapable of learning spells from scrolls and spellbooks, and only gets new spells when leveling up. Am I missing something or is that correct?

Nevermind, looks like this falls under the purview of the Witch's Familiar, so new spells can be learned from scrolls only, not spellbooks.


Sorry for thread necro, but I too am curious about this.
Witches' familiars can learn from other witch familiars.
Since witches' familiars only store witch spells, and a spirit whisperer's familiar stores wizard spells, spirit whisperer familiars (SWF) should be able to learn from other SWF, but can't learn from witch familiars.
I personally would think that guven the rarity of a particular archetype, SWF should be able to learn from other wizard's spellbooks by studying the spellbooks and also help the other wizards to teach them how to write a spell in their spellbook. Otherwise, the loss of the spellbook feature is a huge blow to the versatility of the Wizard class.
