However, it was a long time ago, so I may remember something completely wrong, ok?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I think that the first 3 points should be allowed (now I am trying to think as the DM I also have, therefore you can be sure that I don't necessarily want to "help" your PC  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> ).It all depends on how large the Arcana Order is, however. If you make it so that there are hundreds of such mages, then probably almost all of the spells in the PHB are covered; however, that may not be entirely true. You may discuss with the DM to agree on something like rolling a % to "find" the spell available in the spellpool at a specific time: maybe cantrips can be 100%, 1st level 90% and so on until 9th level 10%, but this is just an idea (and I think those % can be representative of a quite large Arcane Order).But I see no problems in theory about using spellpool for item creation (incidentally, a 17th level cleric is only 2 levels above you and could do the same with Miracle every time) when you of course still need the item creation feat.I don't remember the most important thing: when you call a spellpool spell, do you cast it immediately? In that case, you cannot probably apply your own metamagic feats on the fly, but you can call a spell already metamagicked, but the DM has the call if it is available or not (I would at least halve the %, but could be more).About non-core spells, again it depends on the campaign, whether they are common or not among the Arcane Order. They could be anything from just as popular as any core spell to totally unavailable. In FR, spells from FRCS and MoF are probably as popular as the PHB spells, but no so if taken for example from regional books.On the other hand, I would not allow the use of Mage's Lucubration or Mnemonic Enhancer on spellpool spells (unless spellpool spells becomes "prepared", but IIRC they are not). Admittedly, the 2 spells description talks about spells being cast and not spells being prepared, and a rule-laywer would surely allow such a use, then promptly declare the MoAO a broken PrCl. Those 2 spells are definitely meant to be used on prepared spells that you have used and later want to use once again, or at least that's my take.About the last one. If there is no implicit limit on how many spells you can beforehand on the spellpool to get "credit" from them, you may agree with your DM simply to ignore the burden of keeping track of that credit at all, and simply assume that between adventures you go to the Arcane Order and cast enough spells in the pool. You can keep precise track if you wish, but I doubt that it may be worth.</blockquote>
