Cantrips

At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the fiend spell list. You learn additional fiend cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Fiend table.

Spell Slots

The Fiend table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these fiend spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the fiend spells you know and replace it with another spell from the fiend spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your fiend spells, since the power of your magic relies on your ability to project your will into the world. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a fiend spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

That creature must make 3 wisdom saving throws against your spell save DC.
