Mage:
The level and amount of scrolls you can scribe onto your spellbook is determined by your intelligence, NOT your experience level. If you are playing core rules and above your int will also influence your probabilities of successfully scribing spells to your spellbook.

The level of spells you can MEMORIZE from your spellbook is determined by your experience level.

Cleric:
Clerics draw their powers from their deities directly so they don't have to scribe spells, so if their XP level means they can cast level 6 spells, they can memorize ANY of those spells. If they can't cast level 6 spells then NONE of the level 6 spells will be available or even visible. This is probably why you're looking at Aerie's cleric spells and comparing them with her mage spells and wondering why certain high level mage spells are visible but unselectable. These are spells you must've scribed from scrolls but can't cast yet.

Hope this clears it up for you.
