Totem Guide Companion Archetype: Spiritual Guidance and Spontaneous Casters

[cameronst]

The Spiritual Guidance Spell-like Ability of the Totem Guide Archetype allows the sacrifice of a spell slot to spontaneously cast thematic spells.

Spiritual Guidance:

In addition, a totem guide's master can spontaneously cast the following spells while adjacent to the totem guide by sacrificing a spell slot of equal or higher level: detect animals or plants (1st), augury (2nd), helping hand (3rd), divination (4th), commune with nature (5th), and find the path (6th).

I am playing a Lunar Oracle with the Primal Companion revelation and a Totem Guide Companion. Do I treat a daily spontaneous casting as a spell slot or am I SOL?

Many thanks,

SRC

I can't imagine a DM ruling other than that you use a spontaneous casting.
