(I was originally thinking "until the spell slot gets regained, but that interacts oddly with warlock vs. others".) That still interacts weirdly with long lasting Concentration spells like Hex and Hunter's Mark cast at high levels - I was thinking that if they are still up at the beginning of the rest you could drop them and regain the slot. But that's now adding exceptions on top of exceptions, I welcome your thoughts.Again, I am very much interesting in hearing what I haven't thought about.  Don't focus on just the spell duration thing.Thanks!</blockquote>
