There's nothing stopping them. I don't see why you think that there is... Yes, if you think that they can't research spells like everyone else because they only have a few spells known available, well, that's an issue with the spells known slot, not with the research area. Does the one affect the other? Sure. There's no reason to research four spells when you can only know three.  Now you're just being silly. Saying that they already are wizards in response to a statement comparing the two subtypes. Yes, they are two subtypes. Yes, they fill a similiar role in the party. As written they don't fill the same roll, the sorc has more raw power and more versitility within his set area, and the wizard has an unlimited variety of spells.Anyhow... Yes, letting them learn it and skip their next spell learned would be decent, as long as they couldn't have more than one "owed" at a time... Or you could allow swapping once, which they could later gain back their original spell if you wanted to do it without even that much power gain.Or you could have a feat to help with spells known. Interesting that you liked the thought of being able to do a bit of both. Relook at those custom feats I wrote up. The "Improved Lesser Matrix" feat would allow a book mage to be a little better at book magery, or they would allow a born mage to pick up some book magery. The "Improved Greater Matrix" feat would allow a book mage to pick up some born mage abilities, or they'd allow a born mage to be a little better born mage (more spells known). Man, I'm really gonna have to spend the time and post a write up of that one day for more people to comment on. I personally love those two feats, and the flavor that they give both mage types.</blockquote>
