[QUOTE="Cheiromancer, post: 1343965, member: 141"] Despite The Souljourner's caution I was wondering about the restriction on sanctified spells in the Book of Exalted Deeds, and whether a feat from Tome and Blood could help. It says in the BXD that I think the bit about scroll use is key; sanctified spells are effectively on the spell-list of sorcerers and bards, since you can't use a scroll of a spell that is not on your spell list. From the SRD: Sanctified spells cannot, it seems, be cast without preparation. However a sorcerer or bard could learn a sanctified spell of the appropriate level; it just wouldn't be very useful. But if a sorcerer has the Arcane Preparation feat (from Tome and Blood) he could prepare it in one of his slots and *then* it could be cast. Is this right? The reason I am asking is because of this little bit of text from BXD: The reason I ask, is that I would like to build a cleric 8/Nar Demonbinder 1 character that is eligible to take Mystic Theurge. Arcane Preparation at level 9 would allow a second level sanctified spell to be prepared in a Nar Demonbinder spell slot, and thus meet the pre-req's for MT. Aside from the issue of mixing 3.0 and 3.5 material, I would like to follow the rules precisely. Thus my question. P.S. Evil characters could use corrupt spells from the BoVD to do the same thing- the wording corresponds exactly. Neutral characters could, as well- not all corrupt spells have the evil descriptor.
