A long spell that grants an increase in a primary spell-casting ability (say an extended owl's wisdom for a druid) cannot increase the amount of spells you can memorize that day.

I know I read/heard that the above it true, but one of my players is kindly asking for a reference.

09-26-05, 05:49 PM The SRD entry you are seeking is found in the descriptive text for Fox's Cunning (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/foxsCunning.htm).

Wizards (and other spellcasters who rely on Intelligence) affected by this spell do not gain any additional bonus spells for the increased Intelligence,

09-28-05, 10:00 AM I talked to my player last night and he said he was talking about Owl's Insight (5th level spell from Player's Guide to Faerun) that increases wisdom something like 1d4+1 for 1 hour/level. In the spell description, it doesn't say anything about bonus spells, so I'm not allowing it.
