Message: <blockquote data-quote="chilibean" data-source="post: 24458" data-attributes="member: 2220">How can you pay spell levels before you are an Elder, if you haven't yet got the ability to cast from a pool of all your spells (ie. does "pay 5 spell levels" mean use a 5th level spell slot only)?  So only an elder can pay 5 spell levels by using 5 1st level slots to conjure the appropriate sphere, and can use 10 spell levels to cast a 5th level spell?How many slots does a 5th level Aylissarhi pay to cast a 2nd level spell?  2 or 4?  Are they limited in the number of 2nd level spells per day by total spell levels, or by spell slots of that level (like a sorcerer)?Can the Aylissarhi still use their sorcerer abilities as they were before he started studying magic in this way?  So can an Elder cast a 3rd level spell using a 3rd level sorcerer slot still?  I would think yes, but his caster level would be 8 then, instead of 18, correct?  But that way he could still cast a 3rd level spell with only 3 spell slots instead of 6, if he chose to reduce his effective caster level.  Maybe this is unbalancing, but the only PrC I can think of off hand that prevents former class abilities from working still is when a Paladin becomes a Blackguard.  Is this what you intended?I hope these questions help some... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
