in the vampire book, specifically, there is 6 spells and one not numbered, does the vampire automatically know that spell or is that one you can swap for if you so choose?

Its the signature spell.

Read page 490 BRB or ~158 LRB for more info.

Yep so your level 4 rolls for spells and rolls a 2, 4, 4, and 6. You got doubles so you swap one of those 4s with the 5 spell, then you say the 4 spell sucks so I'll swap that with the signature spell. Or if 4 was good you could swap the 2 or 6 for the signature spell. And unlike most spells you can have multiple casters have the signature spell.

Does the new Vampire book not have 7 spells in its lore?

Or are we talking about the old book.

Yes it has 7 spells. I think you may have misread the initial post:

...is 6 spells and one not numbered...

Right, rereading it again I see now.
