D&D 5E Aberrant Mind's Psionic Sorcery is officially the most powerful feature.

Did you read It? There isnt any restriction about upcasting.
You always choose The level of The spell and The spell assumes that level. Its RAW. As expending spell slots you must have spell slot or now, enough Sorcery Point.
RAW
Yeah and it's OBVIOUS that it doesn't allow up casting and that it simply takes one of the spell slots you know and allows you to use points instead.

So far you've given +4 dex bonus to a 15 dex, allowed yourself to use multiple concentration spells at once, misunderstood this rule, and more. It's clear that you lack a clear understanding of the rules, yet you continually chide us on not understanding. YOU are the one in the wrong here.

Is it your contention is that WotC intentionally wrote the psionic soul so that it can cast known spells with 9th level slots at, well, 7th level with a feat?

Here's the trick, you cast the spell, not the slot, with that ability. You can't upcast the spell with psionic soul ability because you're not creating slots, you're casting the spell. If I cast fireball, it's a 3rd level spell. Normally, I'd cast a third level spell in a third level slot, but Psionic soul gives you the option to do this with sorcery points. Now, normally, you can upcast the fireball by using a high level slot, but Psionic Soul doesn't offer you the ability to create higher level slots when you cast the spell -- it would say so. You cannot upcast spells using the psionic casting feature because it explicitly says you cast the spell and makes no mention of slots. So, the general rule applies.
Read, when you cast a higher level spell. The spell assumes that level. Its raw.
Anyway. I wouldnt abuse this.

Now you have spell slots or Sorcery Point.
Its raw and nothing Prevent to upcast It.

I'm not crying. I simply understand the rules and the Sorcerer class better than you do.

Last answer:
Beginning at 6th level, when you cast any of the spells gained from your Psionic Spells feature, you can cast it by expending a spell slot as normal or by spending a number of sorcery points equal to the spell’s level. If you cast the spell using sorcery points, it requires no components.




Now you are Ignored.

Yes. And the spell's level is = to the spell slot you are using. Absolutely nothing there says that you can cast a level higher than you are capable of casting.

Yup, but the way that works is that you when you cast the spell in a higher slot, the spell assumes the slot's level. The psionic sorcery feature doesn't say slot, it's says spell level. The level of the spell is the level of the spell, unless you have a higher level slot to cast it in. The feature makes no mention of creating a slot, so a direct reading says you cast the spell at the level of the spell. You can't make the spell a higher level because you could do that with a slot you're not using -- you're adding a phantom step inbetween that doesn't exist.

But, even it did, you can't create slots higher than your can cast, anyway (or higher than 5th, really), so you have that stumbling block as well.

So, yeah, RAW prevents this quite handily by not including the phantom middle step were you imagine you have a higher slot you want to cast the spell into, then take the imagined new level of the spell if it was cast into that higher slot, and go back to where there are not slots but instead use sorcery points to cast at the imagined level of the spell.
 

Yes. And the spell's level is = to the spell slot you are using. Absolutely nothing there says that you can cast a level higher than you are capable of casting.
Actually, no, there's not slots involved in this feature, just spell level = sorcery points. That's the problem the OP has -- he's add at step where he imagines a higher level slot, then takes the spell upcast as a higher level spell, then tries to claim he can cast that higher level spell with the sorcery points. The problem is that there's not slots, and the spell level is the spell level unless you cast it into a higher level slot -- which you are expressly not doing here.

I disagree. If I'm going to cast Fireball it is a 3rd level spell that takes a 3rd level slot. Then I can opt to use Sorcery points equal to it's level to cast the spell without using a slot. If I want to up cast it as a 4th level spell, I need to have a 4th level slot available to do that. At that point Fireball is a 4th level spell and I need to use sorcery points equal to that level to cast it.

he spell level is equal to the slot being used. What @Hohige is trying to do is create higher level slots than he has and then use that higher level slot as the spell's level.
