Until you do so, you still have access to the new level's spell slots, but can only utilise them by upcasting lower-level spells.If you spend more than a certain period without replenishing at a shrine, you don't lose all spellcasting ability - but you do lose access to subclass features, such as additional spells known and specialised Channel Divinity applications.Maybe, as the campaign progresses, introduce something like a special holy relic that can be imbued with power at a shrine. It then functions as a link to the shrine, reducing the restrictions on the character. You could also give it other uses, such as re-consecrating defaced religious sites in order to re-awaken them as places of power.</blockquote>
