[QUOTE="Krelios, post: 2405181, member: 33022"] Okay, that's a tricky one. I've never actually seen the spell used, but what I can gather is this. Prepare option. You cast this spell and it's duration is instantaneous, so you'd need to cast that right as you're about to prepare spells (after the 8 hours of rest). In this case, you can't use that fourth level spell slot (since it was cast within the last 8 hours) and in return you get three spell slots. I can't figure out how this is in any way a benefit, since, as your pointed out, you can already just use the fourth level slot for a third level spell, and a first and second level spell does not equal a fourth level one. Retain option. Very limited usefulness. If you just cast Dispel Magic, and you really need to do it again but don't have it memorized, you can blow a fourth level slot on it to cast it again. I suppose there's [i]some[/i] utility in that, but you could just memorize spells you[i] have[/i] to have twice. I have to missing something. This spell doesn't seem to provide any benefits whatsoever. [/QUOTE]
