{"index":"known-and-prepared-spells","desc":"Before a spellcaster can use a spell, he or she must have the spell firmly fixed in mind, or must have access to the spell in a magic item. Members of a few classes, including bards and sorcerers, have a limited list of spells they know that are always fixed in mind. The same thing is true of many magic-using monsters. Other spellcasters, such as clerics and wizards, undergo a process of preparing spells. This process varies for different classes, as detailed in their descriptions.\n\nIn every case, the number of spells a caster can have fixed in mind at any given time depends on the character's level.","name":"Known and Prepared Spells","parent":{"index":"what-is-a-spell","name":"What Is a Spell?","url":"/api/2014/rules/what-is-a-spell"},"updated_at":"2026-09-24T21:12:35.682Z","url":"/api/2014/rules/known-and-prepared-spells","children":[]}
