[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 2856091, member: 1656"] There is a space in between "This spell is available" and "This spell is banned". There are DMs about who have core spells freely available, and non-core spells exist, but are not able to be picked up as easily. Divine casters can prepare any spell from the core list, or non-core spells they have been exposed to. Wizards can gain two free spells each level from the core list, but non-core spells must be learned from scrolls or spellbooks that contain them. With these DMs, the existence of a non-core spell in a splatbook might mean it exists in the campaign world, but doesn't automatically mean the PCs can have it, until they find it in-game. Perhaps a wizard might research such a spell... but that presumes he has the time, the money, and the laboratory available. A wizard gaining 9th level somewhere in the middle of the Crater Ridge Mines might spend a feat for a badly-needed non-core spell, because he knows that his opportunity to research it will not come until he's dead, otherwise. -Hyp.
