I'm building a Spirit whisperer, and having a bit of difficulty determining how some of the abilities of the Shaman class would translate to a Wizard.....
"Spirit Hex: At 5th level, a spirit whisperer can select one hex from the list of those granted by his chosen spirit. He uses his wizard level as his shaman level when determining the effects and DC of this hex. In addition, he uses his Intelligence modifier in place of his Wisdom modifier for these hexes. At 10th and 15th level, he can select another hex from those granted by his spirit. Each hex selected in this way replaces the bonus feat gained at that level. This ability alters bonus feats."
OK, so far, so good....the difficulty is in interpreting the hex I would like to take. It's from the Lore spirit....
"Arcane Enlightenment (Su): The shaman’s native intelligence grants her the ability to tap into arcane lore. The shaman
can add a number of spells from the sorcerer/wizard spell list equal to her Charisma modifier (minimum 1) to the list of shaman spells she can prepare. To cast these spells she must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell’s level, but the saving throw DCs of these spells are based on her Wisdom rather than Intelligence. When she casts these spells, they are treated as divine rather than arcane. Each time the shaman gains a level after taking this hex, she can choose to replace one of these spells for a new spell on the wizard/sorcerer spell list."
By my reading....I could choose a number of spells from the Sorcerer/Wizard list equal to my Charisma Mod, to the list of spells I can prepare that day....
The save DCs would revert back to my Intelligence Mod ?
The spells would remain Arcane (rather than Divine) ???
Am I getting this right ?
Yes, but why are you bothering? Spending a feat to get a handful of spells that are already on your spell list into your familiar is a total waste compared to anything else that you could get.
I'm not spending a feat ?
The Lore spirit is the only one (so far) that fit's the theme.
Taking each hex from the spirit costs you a feat. They replace the bonus feats you would otherwise get from being a wizard.

Yes it does...I misunderstood you.
So your suggesting I should look for a different hex...It's to bad they must be hexes associated with the spirit (as opposed to general hexes). I'll re-look at the options and see if there is a better option among the Lore spirit...
