Wizard Halcyon speaker can cast spontaneously?

[Amaranth_]

I am a little confused with the Halcyon spell rules. I am playing a wizard, magaambyan attendant cascade bearer with the Halycon speaker dedication.

In the Lost Omens Character Guide, page 100, it describe halcyon spells. It says "Halcyon spells are prepared or cast just like other spells granted by your class; for example, a wizard who gained halcyon spells would add them to their spell list and their spellbook, while a sorcerer would add them to their spell list and their spell repertoire".

However, in the Halcyon speaker dedication, it says "You gain access to two common Halcyon cantrips and two common 1st-level halcyon spells (see halcyon spells on page 100). In addition to being able to cast your halcyon spells via your arcane or primal spell slots, you also gain a 1st-level halcyon spell slot. You can use your halcyon spell slots to spontaneously cast your halcyon spells".

I understand that I am able to cast halcyon spells via my regualr wizard spell slots the way those slots work (meaning they need to be preapred), but I do not need to prepare the halcyon spell slots and they can be used to spontaneously cast any halcyon spell (not the ones from my wizard call) I have of that level (or even heightened them to the maximum level of my halcyon spell slots level)?

read halcyon spell many times trying to figure it out when it come out

from personal understanding

halcyon spell and halcyon spell slot are separate thing

if a wizard know 2 level 1 halcyon spell they can prepare both spell in any level 1 spell slot include halcyon spell slot

and they can spontaneously cast those two halcyon spell with that one halcyon spell slot

The Halcyon Speaker can be a little confusing to parse, but its pretty simple once you get the read of it.

Halcyon speaker gives you an additional set of spell slots which are separate from and in addition to your standard series of spell slots.

As stated in the dedication feat, these, very limited, number of spell slots are Spontaneous slots. In that way, they work just like a sorcerers spells would, for instance.

Halcyon Speaker also gives you access to Halcyon spells. Halcyon spells can be prepared in your original classes spell slots (assuming you meet the conditions to cast that spell), but can also be cast on the fly using your Spontaneous slots granted by the dedication.

In practice this means you have two sets of spell casting options, just like your Wizard or druid would have if they took a Spontaneous casters multi-class dedication. You know a limited number of Halcyon spells, as they are only granted you you via the feats in the archetype, and you get a series of spontaneous bonus spell slots to cast them from if you chose.

Just think of it like a Wizard taking the multiclass dedication for a sorcerer, but with a tiny spell list.
