=== Spell Slot Levels === | |||
Each Spell Slot has a level that corresponds to the level of spells that can be cast using that slot: {{Icon|4 Level 1 Spell Slots.png}} Level 1, {{Icon|2 Level 2 Spell Slots.png}} Level 2, {{Icon|2 Level 3 Spell Slots.png}} Level 3, and so on. | |||

Many spells gain additional damage dice, area of effect, targets, or other effects when upcast, but some spells gain no additional benefit. [[Warlock]] spells are '''always''' upcast to their highest known spell level. | |||
