[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 7917389, member: 93670"] I'm not sure what specifically you'r trying to prove with "spells known" since wizard does not "know spells" unless you are trying to suggest that this hypothetical 5th level wizard somehow has an intelligence of 28(+9) at level 5 in order to prepare level+9 spells?
