Wizard ACF Spontaneous Divination:

Spontaneous Divination
You can use your connection to the divine to inquire about mysteries beyond mortal ken.
Level: 5th, 10th, 15th, or 20th.
Replaces: This benefit replaces the bonus feat gained by a wizard at 5th, 10th, 15th, or 20th level.
Benefit: You can spontaneously cast any spell of the divination school by sacrificing a prepared spell of equal or greater level. For example, if you suddenly have need of the 2nd-level spell locate object, you can sacrifice a prepared 2nd-level spell (such as mirror image) or any prepared spell of a higher level to cast it on the spot.
Nowhere does it say that the divination spell has to be on the sorcerer/wizard spell list, nor is it at all implied that the wizard needs knowledge of the mere existence of the spell in question. Is it me, or is this vastly overpowered for what is given up?

It was errata'd to only work on divination spells you know.

Welp, there goes that topic. Well, follow up question on the same section then: Does the "Domain Granted Power" ACF qualify for replacement with a Devotion Feat? Because that would just effectively grow the bonus feat list.

Na, because you don't actually have the domain to trade away. You just have the domain granted power, which is different.

Spontaneous divination is still a lot more powerful than a wizard bonus feat.

True. But taking even a single level of cleric (and if you do this more than once that would be a valid dip) it becomes a full domain.

Heck, it could even be a Cloistered Cleric dip for even more Domainy/Devotiony goodness.

Just dip Divine Oracle to grab the Oracle domain.

Between 1-3 levels are what you want, though the level 10 capstone is nice.
This will give you the Oracle domain, several bonuses on divinations oh and it's full casting.

Consider the feat Insightful Reflexes ( Complete Adventurer p110) if you want to make the most of Evasion, unless you have high Dex I suppose.
