Just need a multi classing clarification. When I use a spell does it replace one of my attacks? Example I can normally attack twice. Can I attack twice and use a spell?
With many caveats, you generally only get one action on your turn. You could choose to take the "attack" action or the "cast a spell" action. If you choose the "attack" action, then you can make multiple attack with the extra attack feature. If you choose the "cast a spell" action then you cast a spell. Either way, you've used your action so you can only do one or the other.
To further clarify: extra attack only applies to the attack action. Spells that require weapon attacks, bonus action weapon attacks (such as two-weapon fighting Attacks), and reaction weapon attacks (such as opportunity Attacks) do not benefit from the extra attack feature.

Ah thank you. Makes sense.
