You learn additional spells when you reach certain
levels in this class, as shown on the Psionic Spells
table. Each of these spells counts as a sorcerer spell
for you, but it doesn't count against the number of
sorcerer spells you know.

Whenever you gain a sorcerer level, you can re­

another spell of the same level. The new spell must
be a divination or an enchantment spell from the
sorcerer, warlock, or wizard spell list.
