{"index":"cast-a-spell","desc":"Spellcasters such as wizards and clerics, as well as many monsters, have access to spells and can use them to great effect in combat. Each spell has a casting time, which specifies whether the caster must use an action, a reaction, minutes, or even hours to cast the spell. Casting a spell is, therefore, not necessarily an action. Most spells do have a casting time of 1 action, so a spellcaster often uses his or her action in combat to cast such a spell.","name":"Cast a Spell","parent":{"index":"actions-in-combat","name":"Actions in Combat","url":"/api/2014/rules/actions-in-combat"},"updated_at":"2026-09-24T21:12:35.682Z","url":"/api/2014/rules/cast-a-spell","children":[]}
