Gnome Wizard with Pyromaniac and Produce Flame


Rules Questions


Hi everyone,
I hope I don't ask a question that has allready been answered, but my google efforts weren't succesfull.
I play a gnome wizard with the Pyromaniac racial trait.

Pyromaniac Gnomes with this racial trait are treated as one level higher when casting spells with the fire descriptor, using granted powers of the Fire domain, using the bloodline powers of the fire elemental bloodline or the revelations of the oracle’s flame mystery, and determining the damage of alchemist bombs that deal fire damage (this ability does not give gnomes early access to level-based powers; it only affects the powers they could use without this ability). Gnomes with Charisma scores of 11 or higher also gain the following spell-like abilities: 1/day—dancing lights, flare, prestidigitation, produce flame. The caster level for these effects is equal to the gnome’s level; the DCs are Charisma-based. This racial trait replaces gnome magic and illusion resistance.

So i get produce flame this way and my questions is, can i write a scroll with this to hand it to my fire domain cleric so she can use it?
Also can i write it in my spellbook and from then on prepare this spell normally?
Thanks in advance.


Hello DaBaine, I hope this helps:

1) You would not be able to prepare 'Produce Flame' from your spellbook. This is because Produce Flame is not on the Wizard spell list, and you can only prepare spells in your Wizard slots that are. {For the future, if a spell/spell-like effect does not list what class it comes from, it defaults to, unless the spell is not on the list 1)Wizard/Sorcerer, 2) Cleric, 3) Druid, 4) Bard, 5) Paladin and then 6) Ranger. So the spell-like ability 'Produce Flames' would default to a Druid spell, as its not on the Wizard or Cleric list.)

2) You would still be able to make Scrolls of 'Produce Flame' using your spell-like ability. {though you would be limited to making one per day, as you would use up your 1 time use of that spell for the day when making it.}

3) And I believe your cleric would still be able to cast it from the scroll {assuming they are high enough level} without any difficulties. As eluded to in point 1, 'Produce Flame' is not on the cleric spell, but would be on fire Domain cleric spell list, because of the domain.

Also, {and I've made this mistake to} you have posted a question about PF1, in the PF2 playtest.


Ahh sorry and also thanks alot.
