Hey, if I have a bard with 13 cha, and spend 1 AP to get the +1 cha enhancement, does that mean I can get rank 4 spells?
if I get a +cha item, can I access higher lvl spells if I put it on and flat keep it on?
if I hit lvl 11 with a cha of 13, and THEN get a cha to 14 with a tome about 1/2 way through, do i get access to 4th lvl spells next time I rest?

I'm trying to decide if I wanna buy a tome/if I should just use 3 ranks of the bard charisma ability(eventually dropping down to 1 or 2 ranks of cha and the capstone feat), or if I can just wear a +6 item.
I'm new to DDO, but not pnp dnd, and it's the differences between the rules that keep tripping me up

This one is similar to PnP, in that your current effective stat determines the level of spells you can cast. A 13 Cha and a +1 Cha item mean you are at 14 Cha, and able to cast 4th-level spells.

You should also be able to select your 4th-level spell when leveling up even if you do not have the requisite Cha at that time - just not able to cast it until you do.
