You initially have two 1st-level spell slots to cast researcher spells. Starting from 2nd level, you gain spell slots at the same rate the bard, cleric, sorcerer, and wizard classes do (see [https://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/systems-reference-document-srd SRD] or [https://dnd.wizards.com/products/tabletop-games/rpg-products/rpg_playershandbook PHB]).{{a}}To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a [[long rest]].{{a}}For example, if you know the 1st-level spell {{Spell|Warping Step}} and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast ''warping step'' using either slot.{{a}}'''''Powered Spells Known.''''' What spells you can learn with this feature are governed by your spell slots, not your Magic Limit, but you otherwise learn spells at the same rate. You can learn any spell of 1st-level or higher that does not exceed your highest level spell slot. Each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of these spells you've learned with a new spell from your [[#School of Research|school]]'s spell list if the new spell doesn't exceed your highest level spell slot.}} |
