Do you have any idea what the fuck you're saying?
A druid with a wisdom of 3 has a spellcasting class feature. You will note the the wisdom requirement for casting spells is detailed
inside the description of that very class feature, and you literally cannot say that a druid with a wisdom of 3 can't cast spells without admitting that they have that very spellcasting class feature to be limited by.
Eldritch knight at no point gets any class feature at all which grants spellcasting. An eldritch knight does not have a spell list, a spells per day, a caster level, or a casting stat, or any of that bullshit. A
level one eldritch knight does not even have a class feature which advances the spellcasting of a separate class, in the same way a level 1 rogue does not have evasion.
The point of this is to illustrate that not only are you arguing that "advancing another class's spellcasting is the same as being a spellcasting class," you are arguing that "advancing another class's spellcasting
advancement is the same as advancing another class's spellcasting." There is nothing that looks like that anywhere in any text in any book I am aware of, it doesn't follow from the language, and it also breaks down in a pretty hilarious way: wizard 3/cleric 3/warlock 3/mystic theurge 1/eldritch disciple 1/eldritch theurge 1.
You're just making this shit up. Stop it.
