Arcane Tricksters are rogues with a clever touch of magic, using illusions and enchantments to keep their opponents on the back foot.

*One spell learned at this level can be from the entire Wizard Spell List, the chosen spell must still be of a level for which the Arcane Trickster has spell slots for. (This is in contrast to the normal Arcane Tricksters Spell List, which only contains the Enchantment and Illusion spells of the Wizard Spell List)

NB: Starting from the fourth level, every Arcane Trickster level gained also grants the option for one known spell to be replaced by another. This replacement spell is chosen from the entire Wizard Spell List, said replacement spell must still be of a level for which the Arcane Trickster has spell slots for.
