When spontaneously casting a 'cure' spell lower level is the spell still the same level?


Rules Questions


Example: Spontaneously converting a 5th level spell as a 4th level `Cure Serious Wounds` to do damage to an Undead, is the DC of that of a 4th level spell or that of a 5th level spell from which it was cast from?

It functions as a 4th level spell. The "extra energy" from using a 5th level slot is wasted.
