Hey everyone. I was looking at the spontaneous casting class features (ability to swap prepared spells) for multiple spell casting classes and noticed that the wording doesn't say you are restricted to spells of that class. I know its a silly RAW interpretation to apply spontaneous casting to non-spontaneous casting classes that the caster has, but does anyone else get the same vibe as me for this odd wording in the class feature?
What I'm looking at is being a wizard with prepared spells, and then having at least 1 level in cleric which gives you spontaneous cure or inflict. Also, the wizard/cleric has the healing domain unlocked via use of arcane disciple (if the healing spell you want to spontaneously cast ISN'T on your spell list for the class you are ditching a prepared slot on and casting the cure of inflict it DOESN'T work). The resulting outcome would be "sacrifice a wizard spell to spontaneously cast a cure / inflict / summon / domain spell of the same or equal level" which gives prepared arcane casters a significant boost in power when multiclassing with druid/cleric or taking the spontaneous casting feats.
I understand that the RAI is probably "only works on class provided spells", but I'd like a RAW discussion at this time.
