[QUOTE="DessieDoyle, post: 9536042, member: 7048379"] You can recreate the item after your next long rest. So, you lose a magic item for the rest of the day, one that you've specifically chosen to replicate as you find it useful, in order to get one spell slot back. The magic item itself is probably a lot more useful to you than the spell slot would be, except in very specific circumstances, and you need to have the right spell prepared for that circumstance too. Tools in 2014 5e weren't all that useful, they were very specific with few use case examples and often overlooked or forgotten. Tools in 2024 5e got a decent overhaul and are much more fleshed out, much more useful. They make Tools better, and then remove the ability to get Expertise in those Tools from the one class that should be using the majority of Tools. I'd much rather have Tool Expertise and keep the magic Items that I specifically chosen to replicate than get a single low level spell slot back in exchange for the magic item. Even if they changed it to "break a Rare item to get a 3rd Level Slot", it still wouldn't be worth the magic item and loss of Expertise, IMO. [/QUOTE]
