Part the First: Domain Caster LevelThere are two types of domain caster level (DCL):source caster level (SCL) and temple caster level (TCL). Any domain, which controls, at minimum, a source {1}, has SCL; and any domain, which controls, at minimum, a temple {1}, has TCL. A domains base SCL or TCL is dependent on the total number of source-holding or temple-holding (respectively) levels, which it controls, and upon the highest-level holding thereamongst, as per the following table, DOMAIN CASTER LEVEL I.
DOMAIN CASTER LEVEL I Relevant Holdings & DCL | Holding {1} | Holding {2} | Holding {3} | Holding {4} | Holding {5} | Holding {6} | Holding {7} | Holding {8} | Holding {9+} |
1-10 Levels | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 |
11-20 Levels | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 5 |
21-30 Levels | 1 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 |
31-40 Levels | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 6 |
41-50 Levels | 2 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 6 | 6 |
51-60 Levels | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 6 | 6 | 7 |
61-70 Levels | 3 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 6 | 6 | 7 | 7 |
71-80 Levels | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 6 | 6 | 7 | 7 | 8 |
81-90 Levels | 4 | 5 | 5 | 6 | 6 | 7 | 7 | 8 | 8 |
91+ Levels | 5 | 5 | 6 | 6 | 7 | 7 | 8 | 8 | 9 |
Progressive SpellsA domain with SCL or TCL has access to a minimum number of realm spells, as per the following table, DOMAIN CASTER LEVEL II: spells acquired thus are known as progressive spells. An appropriate number of progressive spells is immediately added to a domains list of available spells, when SCL or TCL increases; and an appropriate number of progressive spells is immediately removed from the list, when SCL or TCL decreases. A domain with, both, SCL and TCL has two separate lists of available progressive spells.
DOMAIN CASTER LEVEL II DCL & Progressive Spells | Spell {0} | Spell {1} | Spell {2} | Spell {3} | Spell {4} | Spell {5} | Spell {6} | Spell {7} | Spell {8} | Spell {9} |
DCL 0 | 1 | | | | | | | | | |
DCL 1 | 1 | 1 | | | | | | | | |
DCL 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | | | | | | | |
DCL 3 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | | | | | | |
DCL 4 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | | | | | |
DCL 5 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | | | | |
DCL 6 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | | | |
DCL 7 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | | |
DCL 8 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | |
DCL 9 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
For all domains with DCL, the acquisition of the first two progressive spells from zeroth to seventh level, as well as the acquisition of the first progressive spell from eighth to ninth level, is uniform. The following two tables, DOMAIN CASTER LEVEL III and DOMAIN CASTER LEVEL IV, detail uniform acquisition of progressive spells for domains with SCL and TCL, respectively. Other DCL-based progressive spells are domain-specific and, hence, may vary from one domain to the next.
DOMAIN CASTER LEVEL III SCL & Spell Acquisition | Uniform Progressive Spells

SCL {0} | 0 Alchemical Transformation |
SCL {1} | 1 Detect Ley Line |
SCL {2} | 0 Mask Ley Line; 2 Trace Ley Line |

Researched SpellsA domain can also acquire realm spells via
spell research: such spells are known as researched spells, and a domain may acquire any number of these assets. A number of
spell research actions equal to the level of the spell, which is being researched, must be taken successfully, in order to add it to a domains list of available spells (excepting zeroth-level spells, two of which may be acquired via one successful
spell research action).
When DCL decreases, researched spells are not automatically lost; but they can be lost in other ways.
