It's possible to have it on the Beguiler's spell list through the Advanced Learning class feature, though the closest of those comes the level before the Beguiler could choose it. I<em>could</em>potentially take another level of Beguiler on level-up instead of continuing Swiftblade and qualify for it. Which I might just do, it's an incredibly useful spell.<br/><br/>Re: spell components; Bacon: It's not just for ice cream any more. (http://www.scoopadventures.com/home/praline-bacon-ice-cream.html)
