{"index":"rituals","desc":"Certain spells have a special tag: ritual. Such a spell can be cast following the normal rules for spellcasting, or the spell can be cast as a ritual. The ritual version of a spell takes 10 minutes longer to cast than normal. It also doesn't expend a spell slot, which means the ritual version of a spell can't be cast at a higher level.\n\nTo cast a spell as a ritual, a spellcaster must have a feature that grants the ability to do so. The cleric and the druid, for example, have such a feature. The caster must also have the spell prepared or on his or her list of spells known, unless the character's ritual feature specifies otherwise, as the wizard's does.","name":"Rituals","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/rituals","children":[]}
