If you’re playing a Warlock in Dungeons & Dragons, one of the questions you may be asking yourself is how many spell slots you have at level 10. The answer, as with many things in D&D, is not a simple one. In this article, we’ll dive into the specifics of Warlock spell slots and how they change as you level up.
First and foremost, it’s important to understand that Warlocks are unique among spellcasting classes in that they don’t use traditional spell slots. Instead, they have what’s called Pact Magic.

At first level, a Warlock has only one spell slot that refreshes after a short rest. However, as they level up, they gain more and more powerful spells and the ability to cast them more frequently.
At level two, a Warlock gains their first Pact Boon which can be either Pact of the Chain (giving them a familiar), Pact of the Blade (allowing them to summon weapons), or Pact of the Tome (granting them access to additional spells). Additionally, they gain another spell slot which refreshes after a short rest.
By level three, a Warlock has two second-level spell slots which also refresh after a short rest. They also gain access to their first Mystic Arcanum – a powerful magical ability that can only be used once per long rest.
At level four, Warlocks gain an Ability Score Improvement or Feat and can now cast third-level spells with their two second-level spell slots still refreshing after short rests.
Level five brings with it another Ability Score Improvement or Feat as well as an increase in power for some spells. Eldritch Blast (one of the most popular Warlock spells) now fires two beams instead of one.
At level six, Warlocks gain access to their second Mystic Arcanum and can cast fourth-level spells with their still-refreshing second-level slots.
Level seven grants yet another Ability Score Improvement or Feat and a third Mystic Arcanum. Warlocks can also now cast fifth-level spells using their two second-level slots.
At level eight, Warlocks gain their fourth Mystic Arcanum and can cast fifth-level spells using a single third-level slot.
Level nine brings with it another Ability Score Improvement or Feat as well as the ability to cast sixth-level spells using their two second-level slots.
Finally, at level ten, Warlocks gain access to their fifth and final Mystic Arcanum. They can also cast sixth-level spells using a single third-level slot.
So, in summary, at level 10 a Warlock has:
– 4 spell slots which refresh after short rests (1 first level, 2 second level, and 1 third level)
– Access to five Mystic Arcana
– The ability to cast spells up to sixth level
It’s worth noting that while Warlocks may not have as many spell slots as other spellcasting classes, they do have some unique abilities that make them incredibly versatile in combat. For example, Eldritch Blast (mentioned earlier) is one of the most powerful cantrips in the game and gains additional beams as you level up. Additionally, some of their invocations (passive abilities granted by certain Pact Boons) allow them to cast certain spells at will without expending a spell slot.
In conclusion, while the number of spell slots a Warlock has may seem limited compared to other classes at first glance, they more than make up for it with their versatility and unique abilities. As you continue to level up your Warlock character, you’ll unlock even more powerful spells and abilities that make them an invaluable asset on any adventuring party.
