Hello, I'm new here but I had a question regarding the spells a 1st level Wizard could cast. According to Pathfinder if you have a high enough Intelligence you get to cast additional spells. If you have a 17 Intelligence for example, you get an additional 1st, 2nd, and 3rd level spell. Does this mean a 1st level Wizard with a 17 Int could cast 3rd level spells? The only thing I could really find on Pathfinder was this:
"To learn, prepare, or cast a spell, the wizard must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a wizard's spell is 10 + the spell level + the wizard's Intelligence modifier.
A wizard can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on Table: Wizard. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Intelligence score (see Table: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells)."
This seems to imply they could cast 3rd levels spells, which seems unbalanced to me. I would appreciate any help on this ruling.
