## Point-based Pact Magic This variant rule replaces the warlock's slot-based Pact Magic feature with a point-based feature, as described on the Dungeon Master's Guide. This variant enables a warlock to cast a spell on a lower level, offering Warlocks more flexibility. It also alters the spellcasting potency scaling into more gradual scaling, especially between 9th and 17th level. ### Spell Points You have a pool of spell points, which you use to cast a warlock spell of 1st level or higher, as indicated in the Point-based Pact Magic table at the left. When you cast a warlock spell you know, you spend a number of spell points to create a spell slot of a given level, and then use that slot to cast a spell. You cannot reduce your spell point total to less than 0, and you regain all spent spell points when you finish a short rest or long rest. The number of spell points you have to spend is based on your warlock level, as shown in the table below. Your warlock level also determines the maximum-level spell slot you can create, as indicated in the Pact Magic (Variant) table at the left. | Spell Slot Level | Spell Point Cost | |:----:|:-------------| | 1st | 2 | | 2nd | 3 | | 3rd | 5 | | 4th | 7 | | 5th | 8 | #### Eldritch Invocations When an invocation enables you to cast a spell using a warlock spell slot, you can create a spell slot of level of your choice. The spell slot you create must be of a level equal to or higher than the spell you cast with the invocation. #### Eldritch Master The Eldritch Master feature now reads as follows: You can spend 1 minute entreating your patron for aid to regain all spent spell points. Once you regain spell points with this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can do so again.
