Spells
Overview
Until recently, arcane magic was completely illegal in Crescent. That is slowly changing as the Jade Imperium's influence and power are being felt by the nation of Crescent. That said, arcanists will still likely face prejudice if they are open about their powers in poloite society. Witch trials are still not unheard-of.
Spell Changes

Alternate Sources
Players of spellcasters are encouraged to customize their characters by finding spells from alternate sources. However, the spells in the Player's Handbook are considered the baseline available spells. Any new spell available to your character must take the place of one of those spells of equal level. In other words, if you want your cleric to take flame of faith, a 3rd level cleric spell from Complete Divine, he could give up access to invisibility purge, a 3rd level cleric spell from the Player's Handbook. Note also that you must be able to cast the spell you are giving up, so a lawful cleric could not trade away chaos shield for a spell from an alternate source, because he cannot cast it.
