My DM says this means I have to cast anyspell as a cleric spell and memorize my 2nd level spell. Now I also have to have my 2nd level domain spell slot free (meaning I can only do this once). This spell now goes to my 2nd level domain spell slot and can only be cast there. (Apperently I can't do it if I already have a spell there) Is it just me or is this not what it says.

Raven Dark 10-14-04, 01:42 PM	Is it just me or is this not what it says. Your DM is wrong only in that the arcane spell is supposed to re-use your 3rd or 6th level domain slot. Generally, You prepare Anyspell/Greater Anyspell within your domain slots. Upon casting the spell, the domain slot is emptied and then filled up again with your arcane spell. By the strict letter of the rules, if you cast this spell from a normal spell slot, the arcane spell still takes up your 3rd or 6th level domain slot. The fact that you aren't casting it from a domain slot in the first place causes some confusion (such as what happens if I already have something prepared in my domain slot?). Casting in this fashion does seriously weaken the spell too (since it uses up multiple spell slots). This doesn't appear to be the intention of its creators, however, and I would talk to your DM about having the arcane spell take up the same slot that you cast Anyspell/Greater Anyspell from. Otherwise (by the strict letter of the rules) you are getting gimped.
