I know your question has already been answered, but I want to raise a small nag: why is it "supposed to be under the Sorceror class description"? The answer, I expect, is because that's where it's found in the PHB. And not to pick on you, but this makes a good opportunity to reissue the oft-repeated advice: "Put away your WotC books." When you're building OGL and d20 products, it's simply the wrong frame of mind to think of the WotC books as "correct" in anyway. The SRD is what it is in its own right, with its own organization and layout and content. It's the ONLY "correct" thing. Don't look at anything else. If you want to be sure that you're safely complying with the OGL, then act as if the WotC books don't exist. That way, your ideas won't be contaminated by any non-OGC material; and you can more honestly claim that you have a clean derivation chain for all your work. Sorry to use you as an example; but there are new people on these lists all the time, so this advice bears repeating now and then, and you presented an opportunity. (Now if you're NOT building OGC but are simply using the SRD as an electronic reference, as some do, then it can get REALLY frustrating when the SRD organization deviates from the core book organization...)
