Spell point

Spell points are the amount of magical energy your character has to expend on spells before the character needs to rest. As Hit Points are to a character's feature to stay alive, spell points are to a character's feature to cast spells.

Costs
The amount of spell points a spell consumes upon being cast is dependent on the level of the spell. The base cost is 10 spell points for a level 1 spell. For every level beyond 1, a spell costs an additional 5 spell points to cast. A level 2 spell would then cost 15 spell points to cast, a level 3 spell would cost 20, and so on (see table below). Many spell point costs were altered in Update 9 and no longer conform to the spell point cost "standards". There is currently a list of Spells With Non-Standard Costs.

Base ability
Casting ability describes the ability which are used to increase the difficulty class for a saving throw against the spell normally 10 + the spell level + modifier ability and open new spell slots.

Bonus spell points describes the ability which are used to increase bonus spell points(by (caster level + 9)*casting ability modifier). A multiclass character that uses different abilities earns spell points for each ability modifier,.

Base spell points per class
Note that Artificers, Clerics, Druids, Favored Souls, Sorcerers, Warlocks, and Wizards receive the Magical Training feat at level 1. This feat grants 80 additional spell points (NOT included in the Base SP numbers, but listed as an addendum in the table), and can be taken only once per character. This means for instance that a Bard who multiclasses in Sorcerer will get +100 Base spell points and +80 Feat Bonus for a net total of +180 SP. But, a Cleric who multiclasses in a Sorcerer already has Magical Training and will only get +100 Base SP instead of +180.

Also in D&D Online, characters have the option to take feats and enhancements that offer increased spell points, beyond what is mentioned above.

Bonus spell points
Your casting ability grants you a number of bonus spell points equal to ✅. The table below directly gives the number of bonus spell points for any caster level up to 20 and casting ability up to 41.

Any casting ability bonus can contribute to your bonus spell points pool including enhancements, items, and temporary buffs. Note however that these bonuses increase your maximum total of spell points, but do not actually give you spell points. SP still need to be obtained by resting in non-encounter areas (which will remove temporary buffs), from Divine vitality being cast on you, or by drinking an elixir of mnemonic enhancement.

Note also that in the case of a multiclass character, the bonus spell points are added independently for each class; for instance a level 1 bard / level 1 sorcerer with 18 Cha will obtain 80 bonus spell points, instead of 44 for a L2 bard or sorcerer. In addition, these bonus spell points are obtained even for classes whose level would not normally be high enough to cast spells; for instance, a level 9 Cleric / level 1 Paladin with 20 Wis would gain (9+1)*5 (i.e. 50) bonus spell points from the single Paladin level.

Reducing spell point costs
Many powerful spells are very expensive in terms of spell point cost, particularly if combined with several metamagic feats. Fortunately, the game offers multiple ways to reduce SP costs.


 * Spell-like ability: Many class enhancement trees offer SLAs that are cheaper to cast than normal spells. More importantly, most SLAs can be augmented by metamagic feats for free.


 * Magical Efficiency: This powerful passive ability reduces the spell point cost of your spells by a percentage, often 5% or 10% (Enhancement bonus).


 * Efficient Metamagic: Items and class enhancements that reduce the cost of metamagic feats.


 * Spell Song Trance is a song available to Spellsinger bards and reduces spell point cost by 10% (Morale bonus).


 * Aligning The Heavens is a Monk Finisher that grants a reduction to spell point by 25% (Untyped bonus).


 * Clickies
 * Turn the Page items: ,
 * Lesser items: Lesser Heighten, Lesser Maximize


 * Feats
 * Epic Power reduces the spell point costs by 1% for each time the feat is taken. This feat is automatically given to all characters each time they gain an Epic level, so it reduces to spell point costs up to 10% at character level 30.


 * Note:
 * Spell Point Cost Reduction applies only to spells. SLAs are not affected and retain their original cost for use.
 * Final Spell Point Cost = (Original Spell Point Cost + (Original Metamagic Cost - Efficient Metamagic Reduction)) * ((100 - Spell Point Reduction) / 100) : Rounded Up
