| | #REDIRECT [[Spells#Upcasting]] |
| {{Icon|Upcast Icon.png|24px}}'''Upcasting''' is when a spellcaster chooses to use a higher level spell slot to cast a lower level spell. Many spells gain additional damage dice, a larger area of effect, allow for more targets or are otherwise improved when upcast, but some spells gain no additional benefit other than the fact they are treated as a higher level spell.
| |
| | |
| Because the {{Class|Warlock}}'s Pact Magic feature only grants spell slots of their highest known spell level, their lower level spells are ''always'' upcast to that level. (The only exception is if they use a lower-level spell slot gained from another source.)
| |
| | |
| [[Cantrip]]s do not use spell slots, but damaging cantrips grow more powerful as a character gains [[level]]s. Upon reaching Character Levels 5 and 10, an additional damage die is automatically added (or, in the case of {{SAI|Eldritch Blast}}, an additional beam is added). This is not optional; a spellcaster cannot choose to cast a cantrip as if they were of lower level. While this is not technically upcasting, it is a similar enough process to be included here.
