I see no reason why "under-learning" should be forbidden; in fact for moderate-CHA sorcerors (multiclass perhaps), who might not be ABLE to learn spells of, say, 7th or higher level ... this would almost seem a required allowance).Either way, past choices, barring in-game effects, remain immutable.Allowing revision because the RULES themselves change is different than allowing revision because you made a poor choice.  If the rules change, allowing the player to make the choice they WOULD have made if the rules had ALWAYS been the way they are post-change, isn't a violation of the spirit of the rules regarding Sorceror spell-known choices.But allowing the sorceror to say "gee, this spellis kinda useless after all, can I change it for something different?" ... is IMO like the Rogue saying "gee, I shoulda checked for traps BEFORE I got decapitated, can I go back and do so?"</blockquote>
