[QUOTE="Votan, post: 3255513, member: 18680"] True, but that feat was trying to do somehting complicated and, therefore, needed this extra wording to be read. Ironically, so did [B]Extra Spell[/B] but that wasn't as instantly obvious. My personal theory is that they were playing with the reader. [I]I wonder if we can make some naive wizard player completely waste a feat?[/I] By adding this language, they actually forced people to ask the question "What do they mean by that? It can't possibly be the direct reading of the feat? Not in a book that also contains Collegiate Wizard?" But that pointless sentance about what wizards could do with the feat, easily avoided by "This feat is for Spontaneous Casters only" as a disclaimer, can be highly annoying in practice. In particular, it is the best argument for the ability to go outside of the class lsit as one is forced to wonder what sorts of spells could not be normally learned or researched? Because of that wonder about that sentance (is this mocking flavor text or actual rules, if the latter then the feat does seem to allow for spells off of the list but I beleive it is the former) the feat is uninterpretable without outside information.
