Way to prepare a spell in a higher-level slot?

[Zan Thrax]

Is there any mechanism in the program to prepare a spell in a higher level slot than normal without metamagic? It's allowed within the rules, but it's inconvenient to prepare two first level domain spells and leaving the second level slot empty as it leads to Hero Lab throwing flags about it.

This is on the to-do list. The workaround is to use two copies of the Spells Cast per Day adjustment - one to subtract from the higher level, the other to add to the lower level.

There isn't an adjustment yet to do that for domain spells, I'm sorry to say.

I made a new Metamagic called Higher Level that has no pre-req (no feat required) that allows you to choose a higher spell level, similar to heighten magic, but it does not increase DC. You have to add the spell as a custom/metamagic spell, but then choose the 'Higher Level' metamagic, and choose how many slots higher you want to add it. You then end up with:

0 Daze (DC 11)
1 Higher daze (DC 11)
2 Higher daze (DC 11)
