I'm a little confused with the create spell slots ability of the sorcerer. Does it create spellslots, or recharge them. For example, if u have 4 not used lvl 1 spell slots, can you still use create spell slots to create another lvl 1?
Yes. Actually, with 4 spell slots you could create two additional 1st-level spell slots, it would just take you two turns to do it. However, usually using your sorcery points to fuel your Metamagics is a better use for your Sorcery points.
The Font of Magic ability allows you to transform Sorcery Points into temporary (until your next Long Rest) spell slots. Or, consume (until your next Long Rest) any available Spell Slots you have to produce more Sorcery Points. The most effective use of this ability is to transform unneeded low level slots into a few higher ones, or a higher one into several smaller ones, based on your needs at the moment. But you generally want to be doing this outside of combat, because in combat it consumes your Action, which would be more valuable doing pretty much everything else.
The cost in Sorcery Points is also slightly prohibitive. As you increase to higher level spell slots created, it becomes less efficient to make the transformation. But consuming Spell Slots to make Sorcery Points is equally efficient from top to bottom. This suggests that, in general, the better use is to consume a lowish level Spell Slot to gain more Sorcery Points to use on Metamagic features, rather than frequently doing the Slot to Point to Slot exchanges.
