Introduction
In the captivating world of Baldur's Gate 3, spellcasters wield immense power through the judicious use of spell slots. Understanding the intricacies of spell slots is paramount for maximizing your characters' abilities and navigating the game's challenging encounters. This comprehensive guide will provide you with an in-depth understanding of spell slots, their mechanics, and how to effectively allocate them.
What is a Spell Slot?
A spell slot is a limited resource that spellcasters possess. Each spell slot can be used to cast a single spell of a specific level. The level of a spell slot corresponds to the level of the spell you wish to cast, ranging from Cantrips (level 0) to 9th-level spells.
Numbers of Spell Slots:
The number of spell slots a spellcaster has available varies depending on their class and level. Most classes gain additional spell slots as they level up, as shown in the following table:
Class | Character Level | Number of Spell Slots |
---|---|---|
Cleric | 1st | 2 cantrips, 3 1st-level slots |
2nd | 3 cantrips, 4 1st-level slots | |
3rd | 3 cantrips, 4 1st-level slots, 2 2nd-level slots | |

Cantrips
Cantrips are spells that do not consume spell slots. Sorcerers and Warlocks can cast cantrips a limited number of times per day, while other spellcasters can cast cantrips as many times as they wish.
Restoring Spell Slots:
Spell slots are restored after a long rest. A long rest typically takes 8 hours, during which the spellcaster must sleep. Short rests do not restore spell slots.
