# **Arcane Augmentation**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> *Prerequisite: Spellcasting*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This feat grants you the ability to enhance a spell you cast by expending an additional spell slot of equal or greater level than the spell being cast.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Benefits
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Power Scaling**:
|
||
|
|
- Cantrips benefit the most from this ability, as most spells can scale in power simply by being cast at a higher level. In contrast, cantrips typically remain at a single power level unless modified by a feat or class archetype.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Damage Type Alteration**:
|
||
|
|
- You can change the damage type of a spell to another type within the same category by expending a spell slot of a lesser level.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Damage Type Categories

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
