* | *** Warlock spell slots are always equal to the highest level of Spells the Warlock has access to. Casting a lower level Spell with a Warlock spell slot will always "upcast" it to the highest level available. | ||
*** Warlocks have a very limited number of spell slots, but also regain those spell slots by taking a [[Short Rest]] or [[Long Rest]]. | |||
*** As a result, Warlocks can cast fewer Spells per battle than other spellcasters, but also more high level Spells per day. | |||
