Lost spells

[brad2411]

Making a 20th level wizard and noticed that they lost a lot of spells and was wondering why. If it is because the essences then you really need to go back to the drawing board because I do not see why spells that where wizard spells before had to be taken from them.

Can you give any examples?

they lost finger of death to clerics, Planar ally spells, legend lore, stone to flesh (ironically they kept flesh to stone), Locate object, ethereal juant, overwhelming presence, wail of the banshee.

trap the soul looks like it became bind soul and they lost that too.

Wizards never had planar ally save through archetypes and the like, but they did have planar binding.

Paizo pointed out at at least one point that spells like Planar Binding/Ally and Legend Lore were better suited to be rituals, rather than being spells. Which, now that I glance in that chapter, they are. I'm not sure why they don't have Stone to Flesh or Locate Object/Ethereal Jaunt, though.

I think they're planning on a lot of the 'long casting time spells' being turned into rituals.
