Looking at the abilities that allow a spellcaster to go off list, we can look at the Warmage and the Beguiler.  Both have an "advanced learning" class feature that explicitly allows them to pick 1 spell not on their class list and add it. Both put large limitations on the spells available and both require that the spell added be considered 1 level higher.  The Duskblade btw, which is in the same book as the beguiler and also has a set spell list, is notably missing this ability.Also, intent of the designers is a pretty tough argument. Especially since you so quickly dismiss the FAQ, and its author undeniably has a better insight into intent than anyone posting here. And why do you (and others) keep saying the benefit is so minor - at 6th level a sorcerer knows 2 2nd level spells. With this feat he can know 3. That's 50% more spells than other sorcerers of that level, hardly insignificant. A 9th level sorcerer who takes this feat will know 4 3rd level spells, instead of the usual 3; again a significant (33%) increase.</blockquote>
