Message: <blockquote data-quote="ThomasBJJ" data-source="post: 560766" data-attributes="member: 993">Just off the top of my head:A caster can cast spells above his current capability.Example:  3rd level wizard. Can cast 1st and 2nd level spells.Wants to cast a 3rd level spell. First and foremost, he must have the spell in his book. He must prepair the spell in advance just like all Wizards do.  The spell must take up one of the casters highest spell slots PLUS a spell slot/spell level for every level he is short of being able to cast this spell. (in this case 2, which would be a 2nd level spell slot, PLUS either another 2nd level spell slot, if he has one from high Int, or two 1st level spell slots).Casting the spell takes a full round, and cannot be metamagiced. When cast, the caster suffers 1 temp. Con damage for each level short of casting this spell normally. (in this case : 2 Con damage)Con damage heals at a rate of 1 pt/day.The same caster trying to cast a 4th level spell would need to prepair the spell in a 2nd level spell slot, plus use up 4 spell levels worth of spell slots (a 2nd level and 2 1st level, for example). Then when cast, suffers 4 Con damage.</blockquote>
