Spellstore and Spell School question.

[Kevar]

Ok, the rulebook clearly states that when activating a spell from an item, if you have the ability to cast it from memory the call is simply "activate <spell name>". So an earth scholar can activate a Cure Light with this call, and a celestial scholar can activate a Stone Bolt with this call...and they can both activate a Pin with this call no matter what school the spell was originally from when the magic item was created.

Now the part that I am wondering about:

Your friendly neighborhood earth scholar has a nice hat with a 6th level celestial spell store, but buddy uses celestial magic to store some pins into it (via Scroll or Memory). He then gets in a fight and want to Pin-storm a bunch of people...is the call "Activate: Pin" or "Activate: With mystic force I pin you!"?


Thanks for the clarification!

Cross-school spells may be activated with the short incant (i.e. "Activate Pin!" instead of "Activate with mystic force I Pin you!") so long as you can cast the spell in either school. Note that this works for any Activate - whether Expanded Enchantment or Spell Store.
