Simply get the Sorcerer Lord, then get the following magic item (along with any other ones you want), Spell Familiar (+1 spell from your lore).
Also, get the upgrade to level 4, but do not take a mark. Choose fire as your lore, and since you have 4 levels, you get 4 spells, since you get one more spell, 5 spells.
Due to changes to book of secrets, this just got nerfed.

you, GW! YOU MAKE EXPLOIT/WHATEVER NO WORK!!!

Now this is really old.

Actually, you might want to take a look at the Warriors FAQ on the Book of Secrets. Makes it seem like something you *don't* want on your sorcerer lord.

Page 115 – Book of Secrets, second paragraph
Change to “Treat the bearer as a Level 1 Wizard, who may use the Lore of Fire, Lore of Shadow or Lore of Death. He may not attempt to channel. If he ever casts a spell with irresistible force he must roll D6+1 rather than 2D6 on the Miscast table.”

and

Q. If a Sorcerer or Sorcerer Lord purchases the Book of Secrets, do they become a Level 1 Wizard who knows a single spell, as described for the magic item? (p115)
A. Yes.

**JSK-Fox**

Oh.
Nevermind then.
Pfft.

**RiTides**

Yes, I went through the exact same process thinking about it for lore of death. It would've been a little unfair, anyway, though... now the only way to really be sure about getting a spell would be to take another caster with the same lore.

**barlio**

Plus you would be rolling 5 or less on the Miscast table most of the time (even with the Puppet on another character).

B+ for effort...

Unless you play High Elves

Pfft.
We aren't talking about fairies here!
We are talking about REAL MANLY ARMIES!!!

Oh, and I'm just kidding. High elves are pretty cool, but I like WoC a lot more.

I have never gone to battle with my favorite spell (infernal gateway). my lvl 4 sorc of tzeentch rolls 4 dice to generate spells and i have never (in 8th edition thus far) not either rolled a 6 for it outright, or not rolled a duplicate spell witch would allow me to pick my spell anyway.

In case you didnt follow, any doubles when rolling for spells lets you choose a spell instead of roll

Now for the disclaimer, it is late, and i may be entirely wrong about any rules i mention.

Thank you Infamous, I missed that the first time, I love that change it should really allow me a lot more magical choices. . .
