Just as priests of extraordinary Wisdom receive greater than normal
spell powers, extremely intelligent wizards can gain a few extra
spell points to reflect their superior minds and memorization
skills.
The number of bonus spell points a wizard receives is listed on
Table 1.07: Intelligence/Reason in Chapter 1. These spell points can be spent any way the character desires,
as long as he doesn’t exceed his maximum number of spells per
level (see Table 3.4.2 ).
As noted on the table, a wizard with an Intelligence of 14 or better gains enough bonus
points to memorize one additional 1st-level spell, which is comparable
with the traditional priest bonus of an additional 1st-level spell
for a Wisdom of 13 or better. A wizard with an Intelligence of
17 has enough points to use this bonus to gain an extra 2nd-level
spell, or one extra 1st-level spell with a couple of spell points
to spare.
