Can a 10th Level Bard use Magical secrets to gain 5th level Paladin spells?

Question

Basically I am looking at having my bard take Banishing Smite and Destructive wave as his spells for magical secrets. This would be to increase his damage output as a Valour Bard. The description of Magical secrets suggests I can, but Paladins can't usually take these spells until they are around 17th Level. Has anyone seen anything that would suggest that Bards cannot take Paladin or Ranger spells?

Answer 1

Magical Secrets lets you choose spells of a level you can cast.

By 10th level a bard can cast 5th level spells. Banishing Smite and Destructive Wave are both 5th level spells... There's nothing stopping you from choosing these spells.
