Prepared Spells

Source Galactic Magic pg. 88
Unlike other spellcasters, you have no known spells. Instead, once a day after resting for 8 hours, you can prepare spells from your spellbook (below). When you do, you assign each of your spell slots a spell of equal or lower level from your spellbook. You can cast each spell using the assigned spell slot, whereupon that slot becomes unavailable to you until you prepare your spells again. You can assign the same spell to more than one slot, which lets you cast the same spell multiple times. The number of spells you can prepare each day can be found below; in addition, if your key ability score is high enough to receive bonus spells under the normal rules for your class, add those bonus spells to your spells per day.
A character using prepared spellcasting obeys all other rules for spells, according to their class. In particular, they must still have a minimum key ability score to cast spells of a given level, and they still know and cast 0-level spells according to the normal rules for their class.
