To your point, I noticed another card "Book of Spells" that says "gain 2 Spells and discard 1 of them" so even if this were an oversight, the existence of a case where they clarify the point makes it even less likely of it being an oversight.

<p>This wording implies that I can keep both Spells and discard a previously owned Spell, but it kind of breaks the idea of going shopping for spells and picking from a wide selection. Ruling?</p>

You have enough "resources" to buy a spell, but you _really_ want both. Luckily you're in a Magick Shoppe, where they'll make a deal for your other Magickes!
