Pact Magic
Warlock spell slots (also known as "pact slots") are not like those of other spellcasters.
Warlock spell slots are equal to the highest level of Spells the Warlock has access to. Casting a lower level Spell will always "upcast" it to the highest level available.
Warlocks have a very limited number of spell slots, but also regain those slots by taking a Short Rest or Long Rest.
As a result, Warlocks can cast fewer Spells per battle than other spellcasters, but also more high level Spells per day.
