For example, if you get fireball as a 3rd level domain spell, if you know Empower, then you can do any of the following with your 5th level slot.

1) Cast either of your two regular 5th level domain spells

2) Cast an Empowered Fireball spell

You can also use up a lower level spell without a metamagic feat.

I.E. Even if you don't know empower, if you really like fireball and don't have a good 5th level spell, you can use your Fireball in the 5th level slot. It is a waste, but you can do it.
