[RPG] Is it possible to increase the number of spell slots a wizard has

dnd-5emagicwizard

In the Basic Rules for D&D 5e, the number of spells a wizard can prepare is somewhat determined by your ability score, but it seems that the number of spell slots is constant, no matter what your ability. Is there a way to increase the number of spell slots a wizard can use? (Aside from leveling up, of course.)

Best Answer

At this point, there is no way by RAW in the Basic Rules (or in the Player's Handbook) of increasing your number of spell slots you have as a Wizard.

That said, there are a few ways of effectively increasing your number of spell slots - either by restoring spell slots or providing other ways to cast your known/prepared spells - in the Dungeon Master's Guide using either Magic Items or the optional rule of Epic Boons (DMG, p.231-232).

Some examples of Magic Items that provide this benefit include:

  • Pearl of Power (DMG, p.184)
  • Rod of Absorption (DMG, p.195)
