Message: <blockquote data-quote="TallIan" data-source="post: 7529917" data-attributes="member: 6853819">Personally I think that the feat put forward by the OP offers way too much flexibility to an already very flexible group of classes.  5e's prepared/known spell mechanic really offers caster the opportunity to be prepared for any situation.If I were to offer feats that were specific to casters I would try to emulate the feats offered to martial characters, along the lines suggested by 5ekyu in post 5.Things I would also think are more interesting.Extra Spell slots this closely emulates Magic Initiate, which offers cantrips and one spell slot.  So I would offer 2 level 1 spell slots.  I think this would balance against MI by not having the cantrips and being from your own spell casting list.  You could possibly allow this feat to be taken a second time to get one level 2 spell slot.  Overall I think this is a REALLY powerful feat though, possibly unbalanced (looking at you variant human), so should probably be gated to level 5.Extra Spells Prepared/known  Much like Krachek's Expanded Mind idea.  I think this could be a really good feat for classes with limited spells known but is reigned in by limited spell slots - you still can't cast any more spells.Boost Spell Save DC Much like Krachek's Magic Sharpness idea.  This could be a little OP but is kind of in line with the archery fighting style (+2 to hit) but more powerful than an ASI (+1 to save DC) since it almost gives you two ASI at once less the other benefits of your casting stat (like better saves for you).Trade probable success for stronger effect something along the lines of -5/+10 offered by GWM and SS.  A little harder to do for spells because of the varied effects, but you could do something along the lines of -2 save DC to upcast the spell with a lower spell slot. eg cast fireball with 9d6 damage from a 3rd level slot, but the targets all get a lower save DC.  -2 seems a little low but -5 seems a little high and I'm always reluctant to have different modifiers to a d20 roll in 5e</blockquote>
