Okay, so bear with me here. I'm working on a 5e-appropriate conversion of Rary's mnemonic enhancer that works within the 5e magic system. Here's my first draft:
Rary's Mnemonic Enhancer
4th-level transmutation (wizard)
Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (a piece of string, ink consisting of squid secretions mixed with black dragon blood, and an ivory plaque worth 50 gp)
Duration: See text
This spell has two applications: you can use it to prepare extra spells or you can use it to gain additional spell slots.
If you use it to prepare extra spells, after you cast it, you can spend one hour to prepare an additional two spells.
If you use it to gain additional spell slots, you gain three levels of spell slots of your choice- either one 3rd level slot, one 2nd level and one 1st level slot or three 1st level slots.
Any extra prepared spells or slots gained from this spell are lost after you complete your next long rest.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a 6th level slot, you can prepare an additional three spells or gain four levels of spell slots of your choie. When you cast this spell using an 8th level slot, you can prepare an additional four spells or gain five levels of spells slots.
What do you guys think? I see at most useful for expanding your prepared repertoire, but there are doubtless some cases where multiple low level slots is better than the one 4th (or whatever) level slot you give up to cast this. (For instance, what if you think you're going to want to cast invisibility 8 times before you take a long rest?)
I'm curious to see what feedback folks can give on this.
