If an oathbound paladin has more than one oath, she may prepare any one of her oath’s spells in that slot (similar to a cleric choosing one of her two domain spells to prepare in a domain spell slot). If the paladin has multiple oaths, the spells from each oath are added to her spell list. Her oath determines what spell is added to the spell list.
