Yes I can cast cleric spells, but unlike clerics I have to choose a spells known list. Since I joined specifically as the party healer, one of my 2nd level spells known had to be Cure Moderate Wounds. I filled up four of the rest with as many prereqs for crafting ability score increasing items (Headband of Wisdom, Belt of Giant Strength, Cloak of Charisma, Shirt of Health) as I could, which left only one for other things. That last one is currently Resist Energy (energy resistance 30 for 10 min/level, could be useful for making someone Fireball bait), but I could switch it out for Align Weapon next level.

The biggest problem with Align Weapon, however, is that its duration is short enough that it has to be cast at the start of battle, which means I can't attack for that round. Consider that I use a ranged weapon, so even my first round of attacking is a full attack, and that my bow is holy and therefore pierces most demons' DR, and you should see why I would much prefer having a continuous effect like the holy special property.
