You may take this discipline multiple times, each time learning a new Casting Discipline. If you cast a spell in this manner, you use your spell save DC, even if a spell save DC is provided by the magic item that the spell originates from. You cannot cast a spell in this manner if the spell's minimum casting level is higher than the maximum number of Ki points you are allowed to spend on a discipline. When spending Ki points to cast a spell in this manner, you can only spend the number of Ki points required to cast the spell at its lowest level. If you are attuned to a magic item that lets you cast a spell that has a corresponding discipline on this list, you may spend a number of Ki points to cast it, instead of expending a charge/use of the magic item, even if you don't know that spell's corresponding discipline.

For example, if you are a 5th-level monk and use Sweeping Cinder Strike to cast burning hands, you can spend 2 ki points to cast it as a 2nd-level spell (the discipline's base cost of 1 ki point plus 1). The spell's level increases by 1 for each additional ki point you spend. Once you reach 5th level in this class, you can spend additional ki points to increase the level of a casting discipline, provided that its corresponding spell has an enhanced effect at higher levels, as burning hands does. These casting disciplines are considered spells for the purpose of other spells and effects (spells like counterspell, items like the Ring of Spell Turning, and effects like the War Caster feat). The Elemental Magic discipline allows you to learn casting disciplines that let you mimic the effects of spells, with some alterations: material components and arcane foci are not required to cast these spells, spells that can target a number of ally creatures as well as the caster can only target the caster (spells such as fly or gaseous form), and spells you cast are cast at their lowest level, unless otherwise stated. You cannot replace the Elemental Attunement discipline in this manner. Whenever you gain a level as a Monk, you may replace one or more elemental disciplines that you know with different disciplines that are of an appropriate level.

Some disciplines require you to spend ki points when you use them.
