Read what is written with your brain engaged and know that if something is written in a way that you can interpret it in 2 ways, one of which is "too good to be true" then it is the other way. Because the books aren't written by lawyers or for lawyers. Seebs wrote: I am pretty sure everyone agrees that they almost certainly intended to mean "spells you prepared in your Magus spell slots", but they really did say "anything on the magus spell list". ("This is the case even for a character who can't actually cast spells, such as a 3rd-level paladin.") They use the "on your spell list" language, and clearly indicate that they mean the theoretical list for your class, not anything you can cast a paladin of 3rd level has no spells, but can use a wand of any paladin spell. Unless we conclude that "does not allow" doesn't mean "prevents", so you can still cast shocking grasp from a magus slot without arcane spell failure, but not from a sorcerer slot.īut I think it really means that the designers are being careless about the distinction between "the spells you can cast because of your magus levels" and "the spells that are theoretically accessible to a magus".īut, for instance, look at spell trigger items. Once you take Broad Study, you will now have a chance for arcane spell failure when casting Shocking Grasp in armor, even if you use prepared magus spell slots for it, because it is on the sorcerer list. You could always use sorcerer slots to cast Shocking Grasp through a weapon, because Shocking Grasp is on the magus spell list.Ģ. If we accept the "on the list means on the list" argument, then:ġ. You can now use spellstrike with spells on the sorcerer list, but it does not allow you to cast spells from that class's spell list without arcane spell failure chances. But wait! You take Broad Study (sorcerer). Also, you can cast magus spells without arcane spell failure chance (with the armor types allowed depending on level). You can use spellstrike with spells on the magus spell list. Okay, imagine that you're a Magus/Sorcerer. The magus must be at least 6th level and must possess levels in at least one other spellcasting class before selecting this arcana." This does not allow him to cast arcane spells from that class's spell list without suffering the normal chances of arcane spell failure, unless the spell lacks somatic components. The magus can use his spellstrike and spell combat abilities while casting or using spells from the spell list of that class. "Broad Study (Ex): The magus selects another one of his spellcasting classes. I note that the wording elsewhere suggests this may just be carelessness: Why does one of these say "magus spells" and the other say "from the magus spell list"? Is this an intentional distinction? "Spellstrike (Su): At 2nd level, whenever a magus casts a spell with a range of “touch” from the magus spell list, he can deliver the spell through any weapon he is wielding as part of a melee attack." "A magus can cast magus spells while wearing medium armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance." It seems to me that there's a flaw here, because the intent seems like it would be to restrict you to "your magus spells which you cast using your magus spell slots".
