Ring of Divine Spell Knowledge Balance?

[Oli Ironbar]

Looking to have an equivalent ring for an Oracle that Sorcerers have with the Ring of Spell Knowledge. Is there anything that would make it unbalanced or more powerful for an Oracle than what exists for a Sorcerer?

Pages of spell knowledge work for any spontaneous caster.

The best items for a spontaneous caster are probably a Mnemonic vestment. This is perfect for an Oracle that needs access to some condition removal spells.

Ring of Spell Knowledge [ring] First 1500gp.

not really BUT divine spells are granted by a deity and that's the problem. Deities have domains and restrictions and that's hard to put into a flexible tool. I'd add the cost of a holy symbol for a specific deity, then it can hold one domain spell of the deity. If an antithetical act is performed by the bearer of the ring it tarnishes and becomes useless until a cleric of the deity casts consecrate:K2 on the ring using a vial of holy water 25gp, silver dust 25gp, and a (200*SplLvl^1.5)gp offering. Heretical acts cause the ring to break and be destroyed.
Price wise that would be less than 1500, say 1000gp plus the holy symbol price. First:Wood, Second Silver, Third Gold, Fourth Platinum holy symbol.

I'll mention there's the grey area of Witch spells. Witches have mysterious patrons but cast arcane spells. So there is crossover between the lists.

Oracles are not clerics.

Oracles receive their spells from their mystery not directly from a deity. The source of the mystery is unknown and the deity the oracle worships does not even have to be associated with the mystery. The mysteries have some deities that are thought to be associated with them, but they do not have to be the deity the oracle worships. In many cases the deities associated with the mystery oppose each other and can even be adversarial to each other.

Oracles do not have any of the restrictions of clerics when it comes to spells. They do not even need to use a divine focus for their magic, even if the spell lists a DF as a component. They have no restriction on spells they can cast based on alignment. They also do not have any alignment requirement and can change alignment without losing any class abilities, nor do any of their abilities change based on alignment. The oracle’s alignment does not impact their ability to know cure or inflict spells. A good Oracle can choose to know inflict spells, and an evil could know cure spells. An evil oracle of life can channel positive energy.

The Oracle does not choose their mystery; the mystery chooses the oracle. The player is the one choosing the mystery not the character. So, while Charley the cleric chose to become a cleric of Sarenrae. Oscar the oracle was chosen by the forces of fire to become an oracle.

ahh well - I'd hoped you'd get more constructive or insightful input but PF1 is in decline. I'm sure there are comments in the past as this seems desired and simple.

I’m appreciative for all ideas
