I always said you get only one roll per character level. So if you could not learn it at level one you can try again at level two. You are still limited to your max #/ spell level. You don’t roll the whole chart you only roll once your are exposed to the spell and choose to own it.

In reply to Si Whiting. I think the intent was once per spell. Ever.

The problem I had with this was what happened when a new spell came along? Do you just repeat the roll for each new spell you come across, presumably stopping when you’ve reached the max no of spells/level? So along comes UA with its whopping great list of new spells, but you’ve already reached max spells from the PHB list, so no new spells for you. Naaah this was never fun for me, so in my campaigns wizards can learn any spell provided it’s in their book, and they have sufficient level and intelligence for the level of spell, but getting new spells is hard so I limit it that way. Much more fun because a new spell is a new opportunity.
