I have a warlock that I just leveled to 5, opening up level 3 spells. I also swapped some invocations around and was very confused when I went from all 2nd level spells (expecting them to go to all 3rd level), to a mix of 1st through 3rd since Warlocks always cast at the highest level.
Looking closer, I realized that it is because those spells are either forced to stay at a certain level (i.e. Tiefling's Hellish Rebuke and Scorching Ray from my Circlet of Blasting) or they do not scale at all (i.e. Detect Magic and Disguise Self). It wasn't until I had multiple spells like this of varying levels that I realized that my Find Familiar (from Pact of the Chain) was scaling from 1st level with my other Warlock spells.
