How do you regain spell slots in Warlock?
As a Warlock, you regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short rest or a long rest, allowing you to replenish your magical abilities and continue casting spells. This unique feature sets Warlocks apart from other spellcasting classes, which often require a long rest to recover their spell slots.
