It allows you to break up the spell into a combination of 1st and 2nd level spells, but is this really that important to deserve a 4th level slot, and isn't there a feat that allows the same thing anyway?I can't figure this one out... either it's ridiculouslly good, allowing a vast number of lower level spells every second day, or it's almost useless.  Which is it?From the SRDMnemonic EnhancerTransmutationLevel: Wiz 4Components: V, S, M, FCasting Time: 10 minutesRange: PersonalTarget: YouDuration: InstantaneousCasting this spell allows you to prepare additional spells or retain spells recently cast. Pick one of these two versions when the spell is cast.Prepare: You prepare up to three additional levels of spells. A cantrip counts as 1/2 level for this purpose. You prepare and cast these spells normally.Retain: You retain any spell of 3rd level or lower that you had cast up to 1 round before you started casting the mnemonic enhancer. This restores the previously cast spell to your mind.In either event, the spell or spells prepared or retained fade after 24 hours (if not cast).Material Component: A piece of string, and ink consisting of squid secretion with black dragon’s blood.Focus: An ivory plaque of at least 50 gp value.</blockquote>
