Sathrah's Ingenious Recollection (Wizard Spell)

This potent spell allows the wizard to replace spells he currently has memorized with others of the same level from his spellbook. Spells al­ready cast cannot be replaced. The wizard can exchange up to one spell level per experience level in this fashion, so an 18th-level caster could exchange three 6th-level spells on the spot, or two 5th-level and one 8th-level spell, or any other combination up to his total number of experience levels that he likes.
Those who know this spell usually can feel safe memorizing whatever spells they want. After all, if those spells seem inappropriate for a situation that develops, the character can change them. For example, if a wizard planning to study all day memorizes read magic, con­sume knowledge, and similar spells, then comes under attack by an invisible stalker, the wizard can change these spells to a more appropriate offensive and defensive selection.
However, this spell cannot always save a wizard. Sathrah himself, one of the most self-important figures ever to teach at the Great School of Glantri, recently fell 100 feet to his death from the roof of his lower-presumably while trying to obtain fly. Some former stu­dents were disciplined for snickering over the tragedy, theorizing that Sathrah should have de­veloped a faster method instead of an ingenious one. The mighty wizard Sathrah preferred to call this spell Sathrah's ingenious method for the instantaneous recollection of dweomers and enchantments, but most scholars familiar with the work have reduced this grandiose title to Sathrah's ingenious recollection.
Notes: Common in the Mystara setting; oth­erwise, very rare. A PC using this spell should not be given unlimited time to consider his choices.
Optional Rule: In tournament play (and otherwise at the DM's option), die player must choose and physically (legibly) record his new spells within 60 seconds, as timed by the DM, with failure leaving the original selection unchanged.
