📋 About This Mod
Arcane Known-Spell spellcasters get to choose their level-up spells for the maximum learnt spell level.
A very quick and dirty mod, that isn't without flaw, which makes Arcane, Known-Spell spellcasters get to choose their level-up spells for the maximum learnt spell slot level; Will only affect multi-classed characters, as a pure class Spellcaster doesn't (normally) have access to spell levels above their classes chosen lists.
It is an attempt at squashing the balance difference between a Level 1 Sorcerer multi-class, and a Level 1 Wizard Multi-class.
Characters can be a 10 Druid/Cleric/Bard/Sorcerer, and 1 WIzard with the ability to scribe a Level 6 Scroll to cast as a Wizard spell. Other Arcane classes do not get this luxury, despite potentially being a smart arcane-studied magic user themselves. It's kinda some bull.
It also allows a Wizard to put 3 levels into Arcane Trickster, and get to choose higher levels from the entire Wizard Spell List.
Or better yet: If a Full caster puts a few levels into another full caster early game, they don't lose access to better spells when going back -- as they will still unlock the spell slots at normal rate, but can only upcast difference spells the entire game. It's an infuriating feeling.
For example: 2 Level dip into Paladin, now cannot ever learn a Level 6 Bard spell, despite getting the slot at Level 12. This mod will fix that.
What this mod simply does:
I'll go into specifics after this section.
For starters, It will only affect characters that are multi-classed. Because of the concept of Effective Spellcaster Level (ESL).
This link from BG3.wiki explains the concept of ESL in more detail -- why we are here, use that wiki over something like Fextralife etc.
It will allow a multi-classed character of multiple spellcasting classes to choose higher level spells on level-up than their class would have access to normally.

[]A Level 2 Bard has an ESL of 2. This does not gives access to Level 2 spells.

]Adding 1 Level of Sorcerer increases the ESL to 3; This does give access to Level 2 spells.-
[]Without this mod, a Sorcerer has to choose Level 1 spells on the Level-Up screen; and the Bard still only has Level 1 spells, but the character has access to Level 2 Spell Slots.

]With this mod, the Sorcerer can choose Level 2 spells on the Level-Up screen; This is because they have access to Level 2 Spell Slots.-
[]You cannot choose a Level 3/4/5/6 Spell on selection.
This obviously scales, and that is with the ESL chart from the link. Want to know, consult that.
Another example to show the reason I even made it:
