Added brief explanation of cantrip scaling to the header, to make it clear they are not "upcast" in a similar way as levelled spells are. Used class template for the mention of Warlock. Separated Warlock and cantrip explanation in the header for readability.

{{Icon|Upcast Icon.png|24px}}'''Upcasting''' refers to when a spellcaster chooses to use a higher level spell slot to cast a lower level spell. Many spells gain additional damage dice, a larger area of effect, allow for more targets, or other effects when upcast, but some spells gain no additional benefit other than the fact they are treated as a higher level spell. | {{Icon|Upcast Icon.png|24px}}'''Upcasting''' refers to when a spellcaster chooses to use a higher level spell slot to cast a lower level spell.

{{Class|Warlock}} spells are '''always''' upcast to their highest known spell level. | |||
[[Cantrip]]s are automatically upcast as a character levels up. Upon reaching Character Levels 5 and 11, an additional damage die is added (or in the case of {{SAI|Eldritch Blast}}, an additional beam is added). | |||
