Enchantment Bonus and Bonus Spells

Do enchantment bonuses add to bonus spells.

Say my wizard has inherent 16 Intelligence score and then dons a Headband of
Intellect +2 and is now at 18. Does his add bonus spells for high
Intelligence for 16 or for 18?

They're called *enhancement* bonuses (because they _enhance_ your
natural ability). And yes, they do... unless you get the bonus through
a short-term effect, like a Fox's Cunning spell (this is made clear in
the spell description).

For 18.

IMO
He would get the bonuses for 18 BUT if he were to take the Headband off he
would no longer be able to cast the spells UNLESS he can show a mastery of
the spells.

Yep 18 for bonus spells. Only thing you don't get for the higher Int
is skill points at level up. Although I know a few DMs who rule 0 that,
rather tempting to do so, but I don't.

As a side point, would an inherant bonus (from wishes or whatnot) give
you the skill points?

Yes. Not retroactively, though.

Yes, it's a permenant increase.
