I'm pretty sure the answer to this is obvious, but it is always best to ask first, no?
I noticed while playing in Jeg's today that it is possible for a specialist wizard to select spells from a prohibited school as his SLA when leveling in the Archmage PRC. For instance, a Necromancy specialist could select premonition as an 8th level SLA despite not knowing the spell or being allowed to cast it because it is from his prohibited school. He then has access to it twice a day as an Archmage SLA. Similarly, an Evocation specialized Red Wizard who's second prohibited school is Illusion can take a spell such as shadow shield as a SLA, despite being unable to learn the spell or use it as a scroll (assuming they followed the 1st lvl of RW at lvl 6 rule). My assumption is that taking these SLAs that conflict with your prohibited schools would be considered an exploit, since the Archmage PRC allows you to select from nearly all spells for your SLA and not just those you already know. Is that correct?

Re: Using Archmage to Bypass Prohibited Schools?
I don't remember what the ruling was on this.
From the technical stand point it was to much of a pain to sort through what SLA's you can and can't take based on your school though.
