{{Icon|Upcast Icon.png|24px}}'''Upcasting''' is when a spellcaster uses a higher level spell slot to cast a lower level spell. Many spells become more powerful when cast with a spell slot higher than the spell's level. For damaging spells this usually takes the form of additional damage dice, but spells can also gain a larger area of effect, a longer duration, additional targets or other benefits. | {{Icon|Upcast Icon.png|24px}}'''Upcasting''' is when a spellcaster uses a higher level spell slot to cast a lower level spell.

Warlock} are unique, as their spell slots are all of uniform level, matching the highest spell slot available of a normal full spellcaster class until spell level 5, which is the highest level spell slot warlocks can have. They also simply gain a spell slot at class level 1,2, and 11. When a character has levels in both Warlock and a class with traditional spellcasting, their Warlock spell slots are counted separately from any other spell slots, and Warlock levels are ignored when calculating ESL. | Warlock} are unique, as their spell slots are all of uniform level, matching the highest spell slot available of a normal full spellcaster class until spell level 5, which is the highest level spell slot warlocks can have.

=== Recovering spell slots === | |||
Depleted spell slots are generally regained by taking a rest, though there are other means to restore them: | |||
* Some characters, including {{class|Wizard}}s and some {{class|Druid}} subclasses, have features which let them regain a small number of spell slots in between long rests. | |||
* {{class|Wild Magic Barbarian}}s have access to the [[Bolstering Magic]] feature, allowing them or an ally to recover a few low level spell slots when they Rage. | |||
* Items such as the {{RarityItem|Pearl of Power Amulet}} or {{RarityItem|Spellcrux Amulet}} allow for the recovery of spell slots once per long rest. | |||
* The [[Arcane Cultivation]] line of Elixirs grants the user a temporary additional spell slot of a specific level from 1st to 4th, depending on the elixir. While this doesn't technically replenish an existing slot, the practical effect is the same. | |||
=== Ritual spells === | |||
When a {{Icon|Ritual_Spell_Icon.png|24px}} ritual spell is cast outside of combat/turn-based mode, they do not consume spell slots and are effectively free to cast. They consume spell slots as normal in-combat/turn-based mode. | |||
