[QUOTE="Amurayi, post: 4280629, member: 61823"] Here is WOtC customer support answer: 1. When you swap can you swap just one power or do you have to swap both? The book does not outline this but following the retraining rules you could swap 1 daily spell of the two. So for example at 15th level you get a chance to retrain a daily attack power and you had Lightning Serpent and Ice Storm in your spell book from your level 9 dailies. You want to swap Ice Storm out for Wall of Fire and could do so at L15. Ice Storm vanishes from your book and Wall of Fire replaces it. 2. When you swap can you swap just one power or do you have to swap both? It works exactly as I described it above. 3. If you swap one power at the levels mentioned above, do you still get 1 extra (daily or utility) power of the higher level? You still gain the same spell power usage as listed at L15 - 2 at will / 4 encounter / 3 daily / 4 Utility. Nothing changes and you are not forced to swap if you do not wish to. 4. How does this all work with Expanded Spellbook when you get 3 spells instead of 2? Again. Nothing changes. Look at the example above: So for example at 15th level your wizard with Expanded Spellbook gets a chance to retrain a daily attack power and you had Lightning Serpent, Ice Storm, and Mordenkainen's Sword in your spell book from your level 9 dailies (3 spells instead of 2) You want to swap Ice Storm out for Wall of Fire and could do so at L15. Ice Storm vanishes from your book and Wall of Fire replaces it. 5. What happens if you loose your spellbook? Your DM would have to adjudicate what would happen here. Likely the Wizard would lose their ability to swap spells out with whatever was in their spellbook and any other powers associated with the spellbook until they recovered it. The cost for replacing or reworking a spellbook is up to your DM to determine. However, as it appears you would be "stuck" with your current lineup of daily/utility spells. 6. Do you loose all powers then as a Wizard? As I mentioned in #5 the DM can determine this but likely what would happen was you would be unable to "swap" daily/utility spells and be "stuck" with the last ones you had prepared for the day until you were able to replace the book. Again, how the DM would run you recovering your book or replacing the spells within is theirs to determine based on the needs of their campaign. [/QUOTE]
