[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 4465296, member: 284"] [LEFT][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorStd][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorStd]If I am reading the correctly, this means that you don't prepare spells of specific levels, you just have a total number of daily and utility spell slots to fill, and you can choose to fill them with any of the daily or utility spells in your book, regardless of the level of the spells, as long as you only prepare each spell once.[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorStd][/FONT][/SIZE][/LEFT][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorStd] [LEFT][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorStd]It also means that when you replace a spell (due to retraining or the power replacement at lvls 13, 15, 17, 19, 23, 25, 27, and 29) only one of the two spells you gain is replaced.
