Let's say you prep a fireball in that slot, then cast it, then remove the headband. Do you lose another of your prepared 3rd level spells, or does the one you just cast count as the bonus?You don't lose any spell.  But you can't cast a spell if you spells of that level per day have been used up.Further, although different, this touches on the Ring of Wizardry series. You have a ring of Wiz I that gives you 3 extra 1st lvl spells. You cast these 3 spells, then take off the ring. What happens? Do you lose still-filled slots or are the extra ones you just cast treated similarily to temp hit points, where they always go first?Spells per day are spells per day.  If you can't cast anymore spells of that level in a day, it doesn't matter what you have memorized.</blockquote>
