However, it has a duration of 10 days. It seems like you could cast this during downtime (causing you to utilize the two spell slots) take a long rest and then regain the spent spell slots. Essentially you gain two extra spells per day if it is played like this. Is this the case or do you not regain those slots untill the Contingency goes off?
