You know four cantrips of your choice from the tiefling sorcerer spell list. You learn additional sorcerer cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Tiefling Sorcerer table.

You know two 1^st level spells of your choice from the tiefling sorcerer spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Tiefling Sorcerer table shows when you learn more sorcerer spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 3^rd level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1^st or 2^nd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sorcerer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the tiefling sorcerer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

The Tiefling Sorcerer table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1^st level and higher. To cast one of these sorcerer spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1^st level spell burning hands and have a 1^st level and a 2^nd level spell slot available, you can cast burning hands using either slot.
