No. But he knows that he feels great and full of energy. Does he know he has 5 of 20 HP?  No. But she knows her back hurts, her legs a wobbly and another punch to the gut will probably knock her out.Does a Wizard knows he has 4 level 1 spell slots and 2 level 2 spell slots?In my game world, definitely.Because that is quite easily measurable. Wizards, like any professional who try to improve in their profession would try to start and measure what and what not they can do.Somewhere I even wrote a small Inworld explanation of the spell slots (like using strings in the weave to knit spells. And a level 1 spell uses one string, level 2 spells use a different string of the weave and when you increase in knowledge and power you can access different strings of the weave, that allow you to cast more powerful magic. And you access the strings of the weave with different chakra points of your mind that can be exhausted and need to rest. That's why you can exhaust a specific spell level slot but still can access higher spell levels, because those are accessed by a different part of your mind - so the weave has 10 different kinds of strings spellcaster can access with different parts of their mind).</blockquote>
