(For example, a 5th level Wizard, 8th level rogue, total character level 13, could modify the damage of the spell up to the equivalent of a 7th level wizard spell using this technique, even though their 5th level wizard class would normally only allow the casting of 3rd level wizard spells.) In the case of a character who only has wizard class levels, this is the same as their highest castable spell level, up to a maximum of a 9th level spell equivalent. | ||

The second function can only be used on pure damage spells. | If the spell being cast is a pure damage spell, both the first function and second functions can be applied to the spell, as long as at least two memorized, non-cantrip spells are burned for that purpose (one to alter the save DC, one or more to increase the base damage of the spell).
