[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 7571420, member: 58197"] Huh? That's not true at all. Double spell slots is a colossal buff. Unless you're doing the whole 5-minute workday thing, casters have to ration their high-end spells with great care. Double spell slots means you can lob twice as many [I]fireballs[/I] before you have to fall back on cantrips. You might be assuming that spell slots stack the way they do in 5E multiclassing, but I don't think that assumption is warranted.
