[RPG] count a book as the single DDAL-legal additional source to use a spell from it

character-creationdnd-5ednd-adventurers-leaguespells

In Adventurer's League, you can use the Core PHB and one additional source to create your character. This is clearly stated applying to races and sub-classes (so you can't have a Purple Dragon Knight Goliath, because two separate books), but does it apply to Spells?

Specifically, If I build a High Elf Fighter, and I choose Green Flame Blade as my High Elf cantrip, am I locked into using Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide as my single additional source?

Best Answer

Yes, with some exceptions.

The AL FAQ v. 7.1 says it all:

Which Spells Can I Learn?

Spells are a class option; any new spells learned by advancing in a class or by feats are subject to PHB+1.

Characters that can prepare spells from a spellbook may copy spells even if those spells aren’t normally found in your character’s PHB+1.
