Arcane Bond use a spell slot?

[Gus J Badnell]

Sorry for the possible stupid question, but I couldn't find an answer to this. That might be because it's a non-issue, but I wanted to be sure. My apologies if this has been asked before.

Arcane Bond states that, once per day, the wizard can use his bonded object to cast a spell from his/her spellbook. Does this spell use a slot? Say I want my wizard character to cast a 1st level spell from his spellbook. Does he need to burn another, memorized, 1st level spell to be able to do so? Or is the spell "extra?"

Thanks.
