Q188 The Visionary Speaker's (Planar Handbook) Spell Mimic ability lets you copy spells (up to 10th lvl) 3/day. The ability says that material components and focuses must be provided, but is XP still spent?
(Note: This is unlike the Spellthief's description, where they explicitly include XP cost.)
If XP costs are not included, does staying all 10 levels (lose 5 CL) still keep you on par with your full caster buddies [as you can spontaneously copy any 9th lvl spells, especially Miracle, Wish, Genesis, etc., they use]?
Q189 Is there anything that lets you use class abilities extra times per day?
