The World of Atmos is a high magic setting, as such all characters have more latent magical ability. Bonus spell slots are awarded to spellcasting classes based on high ability scores. This does not allow a caster to learn a spell higher than which they can learn normally through their class progression, but will allow casting lower spells by using higher level slots earlier in the game. > [!EXAMPLE] Example > Bow-wow the wizard is a 3rd level [[Wizard]] has four 1st level slots and two 2nd level slots. > > Bow-wow has an Intelligence score of 20 meaning he has a total of five 1st level slots, three 2nd level slots, and one 3rd level slot after accounting for the additional bonus slots. > > Although Bow-wow does not know any 3rd level spells through his normal class progression, Bow-wow can still cast [[Magic Missile]] (a spell he does know) in that bonus 3rd level slot. These bonus slots can be found on the table below: #### Bonus Spell Slots Table ![[Bonus Spells Table.png]]
