When you spontaneously cast a cure spell, you lose the original spell as if it had been cast, do you not? That would count toward the "prepared and then cast" I'd think.dcollins said:Actually, I'd say it totally doesn't work in that case. The exact language is that it "enables the possessor to recall any one spell that she had prepared and then cast". If you didn't prepare and cast it, then the pearl doesn't work.

Assuming the level drain were removed (so the slot becomes available again), then yes, I'd rule that a Pearl of Power could refill that spell. You lose it as if you'd cast it. So you can get it back as if you'd cast it.dcollins said:You lose it, but I can't see how it counts as casting it (because you didn't). Would you rule the same way after losing a spell to energy drain (which also says "she loses access to one spell as if she had cast her highest-level, currently available spell")?

(emphasis added)SRD said:Pearl of Power: This seemingly normal pearl of average size and luster is a potent aid to all spellcasters who prepare spells (clerics, druids, rangers, paladins, and wizards). Once per day on command, a pearl of power enables the possessor to recall any one spell that she had prepared and then cast. The spell is then prepared again, just as if it had not been cast. The spell must be of a particular level, depending on the pearl. Different pearls exist for recalling one spell per day of each level from 1st through 9th and for the recall of two spells per day (each of a different level, 6th or lower).
