[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 1906122, member: 478"] It nowhere says this. Here's the text: The [b]bold[/b] part is what the feat does, following are only examples and clarifications. It doesn't say Extra Spell allows them to learn any spell that the character cannot normally learn, more importantly, it doesn't say, that the learned spell is also added to the class list (which learning in itself doesn't do, for obvious reasons, since you can only learn spells from your class list). And even if it would (which it does not) allow a wizard to learn a cleric spell, the wizard could do nothing with the spell, since it would still be a divine spell (wizards cast arcane spells) and it would not be castable, since wizards cast only spells from the wizard spell list. Hence, it is not possible for a wizard to learn spells not on the wizard class list with Extra Spell. There's an easy explanation for the last bit, by the way... wizards might not have found or be able to buy a scroll or other access to a specific wizard spell, and they not have the time or requirements for researching it, so they might want to pick up Extra Spell to learn it. Here's the text of another feat, which allows you to do just what you mean... Notice the little difference? That's also true, just check the Arcane Disciple feat. But it doesn't say it allows it, it says, that wizards generally use it for that. This automatically implies, that this is not what the feat does, but what wizards use the feat for.
