[QUOTE="satori01, post: 3221806, member: 7859"] A spontaneous caster can not even access the Spell Pool. To cast a spell from the spell pool, requires an: [B]"open, unused spell slot of the appropriate level. Wizards preparing spells for day decide at the time wether to leave some spells open."[/B] Spontaneous casters do not have open spell slots, spontaneous casters only have used and unused spell slots. Here is the text from the SRD re: Wizardly spell prep: [I][B]When preparing spells for the day, a wizard can leave some of these spell slots open. Later during that day, she can repeat the preparation process as often as she likes, time and circumstances permitting. During these extra sessions of preparation, the wizard can fill these unused spell slots.
