Mage of the Arcane Order Question [3.5]

[dextercorvia]

Can a MotAO use the New Spells feature to gain a spell from a Wizard with an expanded list, such as an Arcane Disciple, or Wyrm Wizard?

I'm asking both RAW, and what would you allow/be allowed in your game?

I think I would allow it as a DM for a RP requirement, sidequest, negotiation or whatever.

Just because you have some writing in your book doesn't mean the spell is on your class list. It still takes a feat or particular class ability to accomplish that; perhaps it'd help reduce the costs of 'researching a new spell' as well. That you can't even choose from a prohibited school seems to be a pretty good indication for this one.

It already specifies 'subject to DM approval', though. Given that, I'd certainly be willing to look at the chosen spell first.

in my opinion mages don't need any help whatsoever.
