Pact Magic: Warlock spell slots (also known as "pact slots") are not like those of other spellcasters.

- Warlocks have a very limited number of spell slots, but also regain those 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.
