Because you have a restrictive 'number of spells' limit, only upper level spell slots will ever be used. You're also short changing high level spellcasters by quite a lot: the 20th level caster ends up with 1 9th, 1 8th, no 7th, 2 6th level, 4 5th level, 2 4th level spells and 2 3rd level spells.He's gained 1 5th level spell in exchange for all his 1-2nd level slots, 1 3rd level slot, 1 4th level slot and 2 7th level slots. That's a pretty big loss.Now that might be fine for you: you might feel that spellcasters have too many slots, and therefore reducing them isn't a problem.If you're keen on just unifying rests, why don't you just have 1/3rd of a spell allotment return each rest? No balance issues, some minor bookkeeping issues.Alternately you could move some of that work to prep time by doing a 1/3rd rounded down PLUS a daily that gives you the remainder (similar to arcane recovery, but specific slots): it just needs to be adjusted each level.</blockquote>
