Everyday spell caster (5e Variant Rule)

Everyday spell casters

Have you ever run out of spells too quickly? Wish to have more spells to cast per day? This is for you! At the price of learning higher level magic at 1/3 speed, Everyday spells casters could cast up to double amount of spells! The trade off is that it takes longer to learn higher level spells. This does leave Everyday spell casters learn lower level spells when compared to a normal spell caster.

Everyday spell caster also makes a great service NPC. It now makes more sense that the local priest gives out so many Cure wounds. That wizard can make a living on Major illusion side show. Since they cast lower level spells, these service NPC are worst in battle compare to traditional NPC. It makes more sense why they don't help the players in a fight.

Overall, Everyday spell caster are weaker than traditional spell caster in a single battle. Everyday spell caster shine after a long day of battle. Everyday spell caster may treat level 1 or level 2 spells similar to cantrips since they so much spell slots for those levels.

Full spell caster

Everyday full spell caster can utilize the most from this variant rule. It takes 5 levels to feel the real effect of Everyday spell caster (40% more spells). At 10th level and most of their life, it is about 80% more spells. At level 20, Everyday full spell caster can cast 4th level spells and cast exactly double amount of spells.

Sorcerer power balance note: Sorcerer's flexible casting is stronger than normal. It is easier for sorcerers to create higher spell slot level higher than their normal spell slot. Sorcerer can create a 5th level spell slot which none of the other Everyday mage can ever use. Lower level spell slots have a higher efficiency when it converted into Sorcerery points.

Suggested power balance fix: The highest spell slot that can be created by flexible caster is no higher than the current highest spell slot that you regain after a long rest.
