Pact Magic
- Spellcasting Ability:
- Known Spells: Warlock Spells are Always Prepared. In exchange, Warlocks know fewer Spells at low levels.
- Pact Magic: Warlock spell slots (also known as "pact slots") are not like those of other spellcasters.
- Warlock spell slots are equal to the highest level of Spells the Warlock has access to. Casting a lower level Spell will always "upcast" it to the highest level available.
- 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.
