Spell Slots: The Heart of Spellcasting

Think of spell slots as your deck of cards in Baldur's Gate 3. You can draw from them when needed, but you'll have to take a long rest to reshuffle them. As you level up, you'll gain more spell slots, including higher-level ones that can be used for more potent spells.

Cantrips vs. Spells

Cantrips are spells that can be cast infinitely often, while spells require the consumption of spell slots. For a detailed breakdown of spells and cantrips, visit our companion guide.

Spellcasting in Action

Spell slots are represented by blue boxes in your menu, indicating the number of spells you can cast of each level. To cast a spell successfully, the level of the spell must match the level of the spell slot you spend.

Replenishing Spell Slots

When you expend a spell slot, it can be replenished by taking a long rest. This allows you to refresh your resources and prepare for the challenges ahead.

Tips for Effective Spellcasting

* Choose spells that complement your party's strengths and weaknesses. * Consider the spell's level and cost when determining its effectiveness. * Save your higher-level spell slots for critical encounters or when you need a significant boost. * Utilize cantrips for sustained damage or minor utility tasks. * Rest wisely to maximize the number of spells you can cast per day.
