The spell is one level higher, spell slot has no bearing on it. If I cast a Sanctum Fireball in my sanctum, it WILL penetrate your Lesser Globe of Invulnerability. why? Because its a 4th level spell in ALL respects. Spell level and slot level are only tangentially linked. After all, you can always use a higher level spell slot to cast a lower level spell. If I'm crafting a Wand of Fireballs, but I'm out of 3rd level spell slots, I can use a 5th level slot to cast that Fireball. It doesn't matter for the wand, though, because the wand only cares about the spell level, not the slot level. A Fireball cast from a 5th level slot is still a 3rd level spell. That's why Heighten Spell exists.Sanctum Spell functions exactly like a +/- 1 Heighten Spell. If you cast a spell that is level x in your sanctum, its level x+1. If you cast it outside your sanctum, it is level X-1. Slot is irrelevant, only spell level.</blockquote>
