Enhanced Spell Casting

This grants the user the ability to "enhance" a spell they cast, by expending an extra spell slot of equal or greater level than the spell cast.

Spells and cantrips listed are examples of how I intend the powerscaling to be like, DM's can reflavor the scaling as a whole

Cantrips get the most benifit from such an ability as most spells are able to scale in power simply from being cast a higher level, while cantrips are stuck at one base power level unless impacted by a feat or class architype.

One can use this ability to alter the damage type of a spell instead. However if you can only change the damage type to one of the same catagory.

And you can only use a lesser spell slot to affect the current spell's damage type.
