How are spell slots regained?

Spell slots are regained through various means, including long rests, short rests, and specific class abilities such as Arcane Recovery and Metamagic, which allow spellcasters to recover expended spell slots and continue casting spells. The method of regaining spell slots often depends on the class and level of the spellcaster, as well as the use of certain magic items, such as the Pearl of Power, which can restore a single spell slot of 3rd-level or lower once per dawn.

• Short Rests: Some classes, such as wizards with Arcane Recovery, can recover spell slots on a short rest.
• Magic Items: Items like the Pearl of Power can restore a single spell slot.
• Class Abilities: Certain classes have abilities that allow them to recover spell slots, such as Metamagic for sorcerers.
