[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 6292480, member: 6775031"] A fifth-level spell doesn't mean that it's a spell which can be cast by a fifth-level mage. You can't cast fifth-level spells until you're a ninth-level mage. Yes, it is kind of confusing. This is accurate. You can only cast your highest-level spells a few times per day. When you're level 10, you only get two Cone of Cold spells per day, and otherwise you need to cast your weaker spells, like Fireball (spell level 3) and Magic Missile (spell level 1). Note that you could also use your higher-level spell slots to cast lower-level spells. As mentioned before, Magic Missile creates three darts and an additional dart for each higher level spell slot used to cast it, so you could use one of your two fifth-level spell slots to cast a Magic Missile that creates seven darts. But, you'd only be able to do that twice per day. Then, you could use your fourth-level spell slots to cast Magic Missile for six darts, or your third-level spell slots to cast Magic Missile for five darts, etc. Your highest-level spell slots are your big nukes that you're supposed to avoid using until you really, really are sure that you need them.
