Ancestors Shaman Spirit

[Toloriel]

Hello-

I have just reading the only Shaman guide on the collectin, and I am having noticed some interesting. In the guiding by JBurz, he is to stating that the Ancestors Spirit Magic spells are to come at 1st level, 2nd level, and then consecutive levels. However, in the book Cohorts and Companions it is to say that the spells come at 2nd, 4th, 6th, and follow this patterning. Is this a mistake in the guide? Is there a change of rules to it?

Thanks you.

The guide lists the spell level, the book lists the Shaman level you get the spell.

So you are getting spells later? Normal it would be a first bonus spell at level 1, when you can cast level one spells, but the earliest you get in the book is level 2, which is a level later. This seems wrong. What should I to do? Does anyone else know?

Then it would seem to void the point of Spirit Magic, because normally you have one extra spell slot of each castable level. However, it seems like you unlock the spell at level 2? This is confusing. Does anyone know about this?

D20pfsrd is in error. See here

[Toloriel]

It is from Cohorts and Companions, an Paizo published document. Therefore, is Paizo in error?

It's either an error, or an intentional delay they built into the spirit.

Spirit Magic: A shaman can spontaneously cast a limited number of spells per day beyond those she prepared ahead of time. She has one spell slot per day of each shaman spell level she can cast, not including orisons. She can choose these spells from the list of spells granted by her spirits (see the spirit class feature and the wandering spirit class feature) at the time she casts them.

The shaman has a bonus spell slot for each spell level, i.e. gaining a new one at 1st, 3rd, 5th etc.

It would be rather unorthodox if the Ancestors spirit to make it so that you gain spellslots without spells. Such a change should have been clearly mentioned, not hidden in the details.

Ok, lets mark this as an FAQ candidate.
