Quick question about the legality of a level 3 sorcerer with 20CHA using metamagic to cast a level 1 Spell at Spell level 5. With 20CHA the Sorcerer has 1 bonus slot for a level 5 spell.
So it seems to me that even though they don't innately gain any level 5 spells until level 10, they would still be able to use metamagic to use up the higher level bonus spell slots while still at a lower character level.
Is this correct? Thanks in advance.
