Most clerics dowhatnow?? Every cleric I've ever played or seen had Freedom of Movement memorized, and most had it on a scroll/in a wand/in a ring of spell storing ASAP.
Obviously, playstyles differ, because I rarely see that spell in play. And personally, no cleric I've played has memorized it, much less used it.
I've been in adventures in which a particular spell was required, and no PC had it- sometimes, no PC even had potential access to it.
Which, FWIW, is why I consider any adventure that depends on a particular spell or sequence of spells being cast to be poorly designed unless it has at least 2 backups to the PCs resource pools. IOW, if the adventure requires that kind of specificity, it should provide 2 ways other than the resources the PCs control- treasures or goods such as wands, rings, scrolls, the help of NPCs or even an alternative path or sequence of spells.
