Your thirst for knowledge goes beyond what traditional arcane college holds. You could not and would not settle for learning the same handful of spells in this modern world of cookie cutter wizards. Every wizard in the modern age can twist up a bead of fire or bend light to fool the eye and settle with knowing how to cast the common mans splls. Not you, no you dont just want to know how but why and what else magic can do. I see magic that is beyond the traditions of the arcane colleges and demand to bring that power under you hands. It will take time, training and research, but soon no form of magic will slip your grasp.

Outside the tradition.

You can select one spell that does not appear on the wizard spell list and add it to your spellbook, this spell must be of a level you can cast and equal to or less than your proficiency bonus. It counts as a wizard spell for you.

Every other level you may replace one of the two spells you would learn with another spell in this manner.
