Regarding the version 3.5 D&D rules on Magic domain granted access power to clerics....
I got a cleric with the scribe scroll feat and who worships Boccob with the magic domain: question: I know he can use a magic wand like he was a wizard of half his cleric level(min.1)but can he learn wizard spells, write wizard scrolls, and keep a wizard spell book of the spells he knows? I mean without him being a multiclass or a gestalt character.
I was told by a vet player that he had to have a spell book. I know when clerics invent new spells they have the option of keeping them in a spellbook like book or a scroll( would that be a "spell-prayerbook".
I thought magic domain gave you access to the spells on the magic domain list only.(you could write scrolls for these). I didn't think the boccob cleric could cast magic missile.
I know decypher script and spell craft are used in copying scrolls into a book for wizards.
I always assumed the magic domain granted power only applied to trigger items, activation items, magic devices like wands and scrolls . I know roguess can use scrolls if they succeed in the used magic device roll successfully. Used magic device skill lets pcs feign certain things but not all things. doesn't it. Also I play in Living Greyhawk RPGA. Are their rules different?

You're right, the other guy is wrong. You can activate items like you have the spells on your list, but you don't, actually, have them on your list. Other than the Domain spells granted by magic you cannot learn or cast wiz/sorc spells. You can, say, use a Scroll of Magic Missile, but not memorize Magic Missile.

I do seem to recall the 'Spell' domain from FR with the Anyspell spells did require you to prepare them from a spellbook...
 

Your cleric could scribe scrolls of Wizard spells, supplying the spell prerequisite from an existing scroll (which seems pointless) or wand, but those scrolls would be divine in nature, and your Domain power wouldn't let you activate them (unless the spell was also on the Cleric list, but then you wouldn't have had to use the Domain power to scribe the scroll in the first place!)...
