Spells in higher spell slots

[sithramir]

I know this is an easy question but we can for sure memorize a lower spell in a higher spell slot if we want to right?

Well, actually, that couldn't be done. The "memorize higher level spells in lower level slots" is a 3e rule. Despite its flood of options, level-swapping just didn't happen in 2e. (Of course, your primary requisite didn't matter for spell-level access until the very highest spell levels...)

Ah, here it is in the SRD:

Spell Slots: The various character class tables show how many spells of each level a character can cast per day. These openings for daily spells are called spell slots. A spellcaster always has the option to fill a higher-level spell slot with a lower-level spell. A spellcaster who lacks a high enough ability score to cast spells that would otherwise be his or her due still gets the slots but must fill them with spells of lower level.

No. We can prepare one in a higher slot.

No. We can prepare one in a higher slot.

Just remember though, without heighten spell it still has the same DC as it normally does, even in a higher level slot.
