#1 FrankD20 Jun 01, 2015 11:05:25	I have a player who is 7 level Warlock and was interested in possibly taking a level in Wizard.  The reason he was interested was to gain extra spell slots.  We both read over the section about multi-class and their different spell uses, and we still can't figure it out.  How would that work?  At 7th level, he has 2 spell slots at 4th level of Warlock, and a level 1 Wizard would have 2 slots of 1st level, but the chart that's in the PHB talks about adding the levels and some weird formula.   It doesn't seem right to me that if he took 1 level of Wizard, he'd have 2 4th from Warlock and then get 4 ist, 3 2nd, 3 3rd, and 2 4th in Wizard (8th level wizards total allotment).  Can someone explain this to me?  Thanks!

The weird formula only kicks in When you have two spellcasting classes (I.e. wizard/bard); pact magic is unrelated. You can use your warlock slots to cast your 1st level wizard spells, as if they were 4th level spells, and they'll still regenerate on a short rest.
