Ring of Spell Knowledge and Dual Classing

[neferphras]

Ok i did look around and i could not find a ruling on this. Maybe i missed it somewhere

I have an Oracle, 9th level dual class sorcerer 1st level
i want to be able to cast a 2nd level sorcerer spell, as an oracle the spell is not a divine spell.

For a Ring of Spell Knowledge ... do i count that as a 3rd level spell or 2nd for the character. They can certainly cast second level wizard spells from a wand or scroll all day.

So thoughts? I could not find anything addressing this.

Ring of spell knowledge doesn't add a spell to your spell list. Unless you have the spell slots to cast it in the class that has it on their spell list, you can't cast it.

All of them are useful only to spontaneous arcane spellcasters.

You'd need a level of Mystic Theurge to accomplish what you're trying to do. (which should work for Pages just fine too)

I suspect you'd get a certain amount of blowback about "a spell known higher than you can cast as a sorcerer of that level", but the ring doesn't seem to apply any actual restriction to that (since you wouldn't normally be able to cast such a spell anyway).

It effectively does, however (PoSK works as you describe)

Thereafter, the arcane spellcaster may cast the spell as though she knew the spell and it appeared on her class’ spell list.

Arcane spells that do not appear on the wearer’s class list are treated as one level higher for all purposes (storage and casting).
