Can a wizard learn the spell Pass without Trace? (either from a scroll, borrowed or other similar source)

I know that the spell is available to Assassins (via Prestige Class), and Assassins cast arcane spells. So then could a Wizard learn the spell?

And then along those same lines, I guess I was wondering if a Wizard could learn Cure Light Wounds too (since it is available as an arcane spell for Bards)?

Thanks in advance!

I would think that it would be okay if you increased the spell level by a minimum of 1 (probably 2) for wizards. Take Limited Wish for example. It allows you to cast cleric spells with spell levels less than or equal to the spell's level minus 2 (i.e. Limited Wish is a level 7 spell and you can use it duplicate any 5th level cleric spell that is not from a prohibited school).

Every shortcut should have a cost.
In addition to increasing the spell level for Pass without Trace have the wizard research it as a new spell. They need to spend time & money creating this “new” spell. As for casting cure light wounds just say no. It’s a balance issue. If they really want to cast it then have them multiclass into it.

I hope Candlekeep continues to be the friendly forum of fellow Realms-lovers that it has always been, as we all go through this together. If you don’t want to move to the “new” Realms, that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with either you or the “old” Realms. Goodness knows Candlekeep, and the hearts of its scribes, are both big enough to accommodate both. If we want them to be.
