Every day, they select which spells that they can call upon in that day. They use the slots to determine just how much magical power they can call up on that day.For hypothetical example, (don't have the book in front of me) a 1st level Magister with a 16 INT has3 zero-level spells. He picks lesser glowglobe, bash, and saving grace.2 1st level spells. He picks shock and lesser transfer wounds.He can cast (let's hypothesize)(4) 0-level spells(3) 1st level spells.in one day. These are spontaneous, like a sorcerer.His prepared list above doesn't change; he needs (either 1 hour or once a day, can't recall) time to re-prepare the incantations he can use for the day, if he wants a different selection. With those above prepared, he can use his slots to cast whichever of these he wants, like a D&D sorcerer.In addition, he can use up three lower-level slots to cast a spell one level higher; he could also in a pinch unravel one of his slots and cast TWO spells of lower level.Our magister above could, in a pinch, spontaneously unravel one of his three first-level slots and cast two bashes, or a lesser glowglobe and a bash, etc.Heightened and diminished effects are listed under the spells you've prepared for the day. You decide whether you want to cast a heightened or diminished version of a spell at the time of casting; it's all in what slot you burn off to power that spell.It's a bit like a cleric, in that any knowable spell in the list is up for grabs; it's a bit like a sorcerer, in that of the prepped spells, you can use them in any combo you want!And ALL of the casters work this way (witches, magisters, greenbonds, and mage blades).</blockquote>
